The inclusion of a gender and ethnic minority action plan (GEMAP) in the project design does not guarantee its implementation, even when GEMAP monitoring is included in consultant terms of reference. Without reporting systems and designated focal persons the GEMAP does not get fully implemented. Good practice would have been to report in detail against GEMAP targets with gender-disaggregated data in all projects reports, including quarterly and annual progress reports, with any follow-up issues flagged for the next mission. The ADB resident mission gender specialist should develop a GEMAP orientation program at the start of implementation for all project consultants and executing agency staff. [Main text, para. 61]
