It details disruptions to reproductive and adolescent health services, heightened risks for girls from school closures, job losses affecting women more severely, and reduced access to social protection in informal employment. It also addresses rising reports of gender-based violence and increased care responsibilities. It then explains IDA’s crisis response and proposed commitments to strengthen gender equality, including research and operations aligned with the WBG Gender Strategy.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nIDA20 SPECIAL THEME: GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT  \nJune 11, 2021  \nACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS  \nFiscal Year (FY) = July 1 to June 30 All dollar amounts are US dollars  \nCPF  \nCSO  \nD4P  \nDRC  \nEAP  \nECA  \nFCS  \nFCV  \nGBV  \nGDP  \nGFF  \nGP  \nHCI  \nHCP  \nHNP  \nIBRD  \nCountry Partnership Framework Civil Society Organization Data for Policy  \nDemocratic Republic of Congo East Asia and Pacific  \nEurope and Central Asia Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations  \nFragility, Conflict and Violence Gender-based Violence  \nGross Domestic Product Global Financing Facility Global Practice  \nHuman Capital Index  \nHuman Capital Project  \nHealth, Nutrition and Population International Bank for Reconstruction and Development  \nICT Information and  \nCommunications Technology  \nIDA International Development  \nAssociation  \nIFC International Finance  \nCorporation  \nJET Jobs and Economic  \nTransformation  \nPDO Project Development Objective  \nPforR Program-for-Results  \nRGAP Regional Gender Action Plans  \nSAR South Asia Region  \nSCD Systematic Country Diagnostic  \nSDG Sustainable Development Goal  \nSTEM Science, Technology,  \nEngineering and Math  \nSME Small and Medium Enterprises  \nWBG World Bank Group  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY ....................................................................................................... i  \nI.
