Gender Mainstreaming: From Programmatic to Organizational Transformation (Featuring the Gender Audit of InterAction’s CAW).

International Institute of Rural reconstruction

Cavite, Philippines.

Short course.

Designed for senior and mid-level development leaders, managers and professionals who have the ability to influence their organizations – people who can coordinate and facilitate the change process within their organizations – the course builds on: 1) a review of experiences in mainstreaming gender within their organizations, programs and projects; 2) an introduction to various tools for gender mainstreaming; and 3) focus on use of the gender audit tool developed by InterAction's Commission on the Advancement of Women (CAW) to deepen understanding of gender mainstreaming efforts within organizations. The gender audit focuses on the dimensions of political will, technical capacity, accountability and organizational culture as part of a holistic gender integration framework. Direct interaction with community people allow participants to reflect on a few gender analysis tools for mainstreaming gender in projects. Practical exercises prepare participants for the planned change process to mainstream gender equality in their organizations. Interactions between and among participants on their organization's gender mainstreaming efforts provide an array of approaches and challenges at project, program and organization levels within particular contexts.
