- Abstract
- The purpose of the thesis is to examine the gender perception of a project designer, project
implementers, and beneficiaries in disaster risk reduction (DRR) projects in Cambodia. This
thesis studies a specific DRR project called the Adaptive and Resilient Communities (ARCII)
project of a Swedish non-government organization (NGO), and the local partner in
Cambodia. The research questions are as follows: How is gender viewed and construed by a
project designer and implementers involved in Barnfonden’s child-led DRR in Cambodia?
and How are gender differences viewed by the target group/beneficiaries, and how do these
compare with the understanding of gender on the part of the project staff?

compare with the understanding of gender on the part of the project staff?
This thesis is based on an interview with the project designer and focus group discussions
with project implementers, and beneficiaries of ARCII. The thesis found that the gender
views of the project designer in Sweden and project implementers in Cambodia are
overlapping, but not totally the same, because of cultural differences between them.
Moreover, complex and mixed ideas of gender equality were seen in the project designer’s
and implementers’ thoughts. Moreover, the difference in gender views between the project
designer and implementers could be useful when considering the integration of the gender
lens. (Less)
