Assessment Report
GRB
The report provides a comprehensive review of GRB initiatives in the Asia Pacific region and takes stock of almost two decades of GRB work in the region by documenting the diverse range of experiences in GRB including long-established and more recent GRB initiatives. It highlights the variety of tools and strategies available, as well as key factors that enable and constrain their implementation. It identifies key achievements, gaps, challenges, and opportunities for promoting and institutionalising GRB into national government policies and budget practices. It also examines the potential of different GRB approaches to promote gender equality and women's empowerment.
