Masterclass on Gender-Responsive Climate Resilient Infrastructure PPPs 

Event description

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are a key entry point for integrating climate adaptation and resilience into infrastructure projects. However, governments and practitioners lack the information to bring knowledge on PPPs climate risks and gender inclusiveness together to inform their projects. 

To address the issue, GCA, in partnership with the Government of Canada, is organizing series of events titled “Masterclass on Gender Responsive and Climate Resilient Infrastructure PPPs”. The first event will be held from June 20 to June 23, 2025, in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. A total of 26 participants from the World Bank and Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) will attend the Masterclass. 

Objectives
By identifying key entry points across the PPP project cycle where resilience measures can be effectively incorporated, this case-study-driven approach will enable participants to engage with real-world scenarios, critically analyse challenges, and apply theoretical frameworks. Practical examples will illustrate how resilience and inclusiveness can be embedded at various stages, while relevant tools and methodologies will be provided to enhance practitioners’ ability to make informed, evidence-based decisions. This approach not only fosters problem-solving skills but also empowers practitioners to integrate best practices in climate resilience, gender responsiveness ultimately strengthening the long-term sustainability of infrastructure projects.
