Gender Mainstreaming in Projects and Programmes - NFP
Assuring that equal numbers of men and women are participating is a measure taken, but what else needs to be done to redress imbalance in the respective positions of men and women? You will practise with different tools and issues regarding gender inclusion.
Participants
This course aims at project staff, advisers, desk officers and consultants, involved in facilitating integration of non discriminatory behaviour and equality between men and women. A focus is put on the participant as agent of change in his/her organisation. For this particular course familiarity with project cycle management is beneficial.
Course Objectives
At the end of this 10 day course you:
• are familiar with the basic concepts of Gender, Project and Programme Management
• can assure that gender is mainstreamed in the project cycle; in identification, formulation, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation
• are able to use an Appreciative Inquiry Approach at relevant stages of the project
• can develop a theory of change
• can design project and programmes, monitor and evaluate on gender equality
• can assess your organisation on strengths and weaknesses for mainstreaming gender
The participant leaves with a personal action plan for mainstreaming gender in his/her programmes and organisation.
Course Content
Each stage of programme management tools and issues regarding gender inclusion are explored and practised. A focus is put on the participant as agent of change in his/her organisation. Attention is therefore put at gender at an individual level, programme and organisational level. A few fieldvisits are included to analyse how gender is taken into account by Dutch organisations and their programmes. The participant leaves with a personal action plan for mainstreaming gender in his/her programmes and organisation.
