The first question delves into the current state of RBF implementation across various regions and sectors, focusing on gender equality and women’s empowerment. This report documents existing gender-related RBF strategies and explores their different approaches, successes, challenges, and lessons learned. What opportunities exist to address prevailing gender gaps through RBF? The second question explores the future of RBF in addressing gender disparities. The report identifies emerging sectors or regions where RBF approaches have the potential to significantly improve gender outcomes.
