This research project, titled “Exploring Gendered Knowledge and Inclusiveness in Community Resilience for Flooding Disaster: Case Studies in Can Tho City (Vietnam) and Metro Cebu (Philippines),” investigated women’s roles in adapting to urban flooding risks, evaluated the potential impacts of flooding, and enhanced women’s representation in urban flooding governance and resilience initiatives. A mixed-method approach was employed to achieve these aims, using stakeholder consultation workshops and many in-country workshops and meetings in both cities to enhance engagement. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, utilised semi-structured interviews, household surveys, and focus group discussions to collect insights from provincial, district, and commune tiers. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methodologies were utilised to assess the effects of urban flooding on women in the chosen research locations.
