How Private Sector Investment Can Support Gender-Responsive, Climate-Resilient Development in Tajikistan

This guidance note provides advice on how to design and implement gender-responsive, private sector-led investments that enhance climate resilience. It distils lessons learned from three climate resilience projects with a private-sector focus under the Tajikistan Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR), which aimed to build women’s and men’s climate resilience by enhancing their access to climate finance. These projects are: Tajikistan Climate Resilience Financing Facility CLIMADAPT (EBRD); Environmental Land Management and Rural Livelihoods (ELMARL) Project (World Bank); and Enhancing Climate Resilience in the Pyanj River Basin (PRB) Project (Asian Development Bank).
