Promoting Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment: Supporting Women at Risk and Vulnerable to HIV/AIDS in the Philippines

In April 2008, ADB approved DOH’s request for funding to enable the conduct of studies and other activities under the project,“Supporting Women at-Risk and Vulnerable to HIV/AIDS in the Philippines.” ADB provided funding through the Gender and Development Cooperation Fund (GDCF) established under RETA 6143, which supports initiatives to promote gender mainstreaming in ADB operations, gender capacity development, and strategic partnerships.
