Effective Gender Analysis and Strategies

 

Who is it for?

This course is suitable for a range of development practitioners including contractors and consultants, NGO program staff, bilateral and multilateral development workers. Participants with some international experience of development assistance will find this course useful, along with emerging practitioners.
 

Course Description: 

What is the latest evidence on effective ways to empower women? How can we ensure that women and men benefit equally from development activities? What are gender strategies and how are they developed and implemented? What lessons have been learned on how to achieve good results for both women and men?  
This highly participatory course is focused on developing skills to ensure that women participate and benefit equally in development projects.  
Achieving gender equality and empowering women is essential for sustainable development. The latest evidence also shows that achieving gender equality increases the overall effectiveness of development projects. All development practitioners need sound gender analysis skills and the ability to adapt these to different projects, programs and contexts, based on the very latest evidence.
Systematic attention to gender equality issues in program/project design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation remains rare. Both women and men continue to be disadvantaged by gender blind activities. However, recent reviews demonstrate that gender strategies can be effective tools for ensuring that women participate and benefit equally, and for increasing project effectiveness.
