2021 GAD Webinar 4: Beyond Attribution: Use of the HGDG to mainstream GAD elements in the Project Development Cycle

The Harmonized GAD Guidelines (HGDG), a tool co-developed by the PCW and the National Economic and Development Authority, ensures that programs and projects undertaken by the government in their various stages are gender-responsive. This learning session showcases the use of HGDG to integrate GAD elements in the programs and projects of government agencies. It also underscores how the results of HGDG are applied in preparing the GAD Plan and Budget and GAD Accomplishment Report and identifying strategies to address the gaps or missing elements. The session hopes to make its participants internalize the importance of HGDG in the gender-responsive project development cycle and realize that applying HGDG as a tool significantly influences the rest of the agencies’ processes/programs to be gender-responsive.
