Objective and Purpose of the Assignment
The regional technical assistance (TA) project, “Investing in Resilience to Extreme Heat: Sector and Gender-Responsive Adaptation Solutions,” was approved by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to reduce risks from extreme heat by increasing investments that strengthen resilience in key sectors and address gendered vulnerabilities. The TA will support three developing member countries (DMCs), Bangladesh, Thailand, and Timor-Leste. It will integrate gender-responsive extreme heat adaptation measures into investments through: (i) undertaking impact assessments of extreme heat adaptation solutions for sector investment projects; and (ii) developing knowledge and tools on integrating extreme heat risks and associated gendered vulnerabilities, including case studies and sector-level guidance and tools. The TA is expected to result in at least two sector investment projects integrating extreme heat adaptation and the development of four knowledge tools to support DMCs in future climate- and gender-responsive investment decisions.
