PDF File Size: 322 KB | Download   
Gender equality was mainstreamed throughout the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) and a separate chapter on gender equality and social inclusion was included in the final report, among other things stressing the need to engage earthquake affected women equally in reconstruction and recovery efforts to build resilience in the long run and to apply gender-responsive budgeting principles in all reconstruction efforts. Gender equality commitments were successfully articulated in the Flash Appeal and 9 gender equality indicators were included in the flash appeal monitoring framework to ensure the gender responsiveness of the earthquake response. Regular updates and information on gender equality featured in key public communication materials, including in situation reports, humanitarian bulletins and key sectoral messages, in order to promote the voice of women, girls and other vulnerable groups affected by the earthquake.
