This tool kit assists staff and consultants of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in conceptualizing and designing gender-responsive programs and projects in public sector management (PSM). It aims to help users identify and investigate gender issues and to build practical design elements into PSM programs and projects. It guides users on key questions to be asked and data to be collected during project preparation, and provides a menu of entry points for designing gender-inclusive PSM programs. Consisting of three parts, the tool kit provides guidance on gender issues on key PSM subsectors and sector policy reforms. Case studies from ADB programs and projects have been included to illustrate good practices in mainstreaming gender concerns in PSM.

This tool kit is to help staff and consultants of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) conceptualize and design gender-responsive public policy and projects in the micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise sector. It guides users in the design of project and program outputs, activities, inputs, indicators, and targets to respond to gender issues in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise development and finance operations. ADB staff can use the tool kit to identify social and gender issues to be documented in the initial poverty and social analysis during the concept phase. Consultants can use it to carry out more detailed social and gender analysis during the project preparatory technical assistance or detailed design or due diligence phase. It should be noted that the tool kit is not meant to be prescriptive. Rather, it offers a menu of entry points that the project team can choose from.

This tool kit assists staff and consultants of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in conceptualizing and designing gender-responsive projects in the energy sector. It guides users in key questions to be asked and data to be collected during project preparation. It also offers a menu of entry points in designing project outputs, activities, inputs, indicators, and targets that integrate key gender issues identified during the gender analysis. The tool kit is broken down into key subsectors of ADB's energy sector investments---transmission and distribution, rural electrification, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. Case studies from ADB energy projects have been included to illustrate good practices in mainstreaming gender in energy sector.

This tool kit was designed to help development practitioners incorporate gender perspectives into development initiatives, and to monitor and evaluate gender equality results. It was written with development policy makers, planners, implementers, and evaluators in mind. The tool kit provides a menu of gender equality outcomes, results, and indicators across different sectors that can be adapted to suit different contexts. It is intended to be read selectively based on the sector and nature of the program or project although it is not expected that every indicator will be relevant to all programs and projects.

The Gender Management System (GMS) is a holistic approach to gender mainstreaming. The Commonwealth Secretariat has produced a series of reference manuals to assist governments and others in mainstreaming gender, using the GMS. This Toolkit will enable people to put these manuals into practice by providing a range of tools to make them more accessible. The Toolkit contains: Action Guide; Change Management Briefing Training Kit; CD-ROM of GMS manuals. It will be useful to people with responsibility for actio on gender in government stakeholder organizations.

This document is a guidance for practitioners seeking to design climate change interventions with greater potential to exert transformational change (TrC).
