2024 GAD Webinar 2: Gender Mainstreaming Concepts and Policy Imperatives with Gender Analysis

The GAD Webinar 2 combines the standard modules on gender mainstreaming and gender analysis.   It aims to enhance the knowledge of participants on gender mainstreaming as a strategy to pursue gender equality and to make it a fundamental value in development choices and institutional practice. Gender Mainstreaming (GM) is a strategy that recognizes gender issues on a sustained basis and promotes the inclusion of gender perspective in the design and implementation of plans and programs to carry out government mandates. Aside from GM concepts, the webinar will also review GAD-related mandates and GM policy imperatives that are essential in fully understanding the basis and history of the GAD approach in the country. Meanwhile, Gender Analysis and the use of gender analysis tools is one of the three basic trainings that have to be undertaken by members of the GFPS and concerned staff. In this webinar, Gender Analysis (GA) will be discussed as an essential element in gender mainstreaming. The session will develop knowledge and understanding of GA concepts, frameworks, and tools to surface gender issues among women and men, girls and boys in households and communities. The session will also introduce GA tools used for diagnosing gender gaps in organizations and influencing the design, implementation, management, monitoring, and evaluation of programs and projects to be gender-responsive.
