Women Challenge Gender Stereotypes in Rural Cambodia
ADB’s Second Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Project and its Additional Financing, implemented from 2009 to 2020, paved the way for major changes in Dil’s village. It also benefitted other villages across six provinces around Tonle Sap Lake, where many of Cambodia’s poorest people live.

Rebuilding Lives in Sri Lanka
An ambitious and wide-ranging project helped return a sense of normalcy to an estimated 1.1 million conflict-affected people in Sri Lanka.
Improving Livelihoods of Coastal Communities in Sri Lanka
Following 20 years of civil conflict, up to 50% of the 110,000 households in the coastal area of the country’s east were estimated to be poor. The conflict destroyed livelihood assets, displaced people, and eroded government institutional capacity. Females headed many fractured households due to losses of male family members.
Conflict-Affected Area Rehabilitation Project in Sri Lanka
The civil conflict had a devastating effect on infrastructure in the Northern and Eastern provinces of the country. Taking advantage of the ceasefire agreement in 2002, ADB carried out an assessment of the North-East region to determine the relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction needs of the conflict-affected areas.
Reliable Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation in the Conflict-affected Areas of Sri Lanka
Providing access to reliable safe drinking water and sanitation in the conflict-affected areas— where investment for basic infrastructure could not be made in the preceding 2 decades— was an urgent priority for the Government of Sri Lanka.
Restoring Infrastructure in the Former Conflict Zones of Sri Lanka
Restoring normalcy to the former conflict zone, post conflict rehabilitation and construction became a priority in the immediate aftermath of the end of the civil conflict.
