The DRRRF Gender Working Group was established as a sub-group to the DRRRF Strategy Group to shape the objectives and operational pillars of the individual post-disaster recovery and reconstruction projects gender strategy. The Gender Working Group is supported by the Global Bank’s gender team in the country offices.

The DRRRF Gender Working Group will: (i) review gender aspects of DRRRF-financed activities; (ii) share knowledge and expertise on innovations in gender as they relate to the Global Bank Disaster Risk Reduction and Reconstruction Fund – An Umbrella Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund,” “GB DRRRF,” or “DRRRF”); (iii) propose recommendations on how gender aspects can be better captured in the DRRRF Results Management Framework; and (iv) provide support for gender mainstreaming in DRRRF portfolio management, pipeline development and new initiatives. Interested parties will be invited to participate in project review and decision meetings to provide input on gender-related aspects where relevant, with the approval of the DRRRF Management Committee.
