The proposed knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will enhance the capacity of three developing member countries (DMCs) - Fiji, the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), and Mongolia - to strengthen women's resilience to climate change and disaster risks. This will be done by demonstrating (i) the potential for green jobs for women, (ii) developing and advancing gender-responsive national and sector policies and actions on climate change and disaster risk management (CCDRM), and (iii) integrating women's rights into relevant environment law._The TA is included in the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Management-approved Gender Equity Thematic Group's 2017 annual work program.
