2024 GAD Webinar 4: Use of the HGDG Tool in Mainstreaming Gender Elements in the Project Development Cycle

GAD Webinar 4 will discuss how to use the Harmonized GAD Guidelines (HGDG) as a gender analysis, planning, and monitoring tool to ensure that programs and projects undertaken by donors and the Philippine government in their various stages are gender-responsive. The webinar will enable the participants to appreciate the integration of GAD elements in the project development cycle. It will demonstrate the assessment of a program and project using the HGDG tool and the application of the assessment results in the agency GAD Plan and Budget and GAD Accomplishment Report. The webinar will also show the identification of mitigating strategies to address gender gaps and to improve the gender-responsiveness of the program/project design, implementation, management, monitoring, and evaluation. 

To enrich the learning experience, selected government agencies will be invited to share their practical insights and experiences in applying the HGDG tool. This sharing will encompass how the tool has been instrumental in mainstreaming gender perspectives within their programs/projects and attributing a portion of the funds to the GAD budget, providing real-world examples of providing real-world examples of flagship/mainstream/ regular programs and projects integrated with a gender perspective.
