The Gender Tool Box gathers knowledge material and method support on gender equality in the form of tools, briefs and thematic overviews. The tool box features gender mainstreaming tools includingthree main approaches: Integration of gender equality in interventions in general; Targeting specific groups or issues through special interventions; Dialogue with partners on gender sensitive issues and aspects.
This guide is primarily geared for project developers, managers and implementation staff. It provides information, tips and tools that can help conduct and apply the findings of gender analyses.This guide offers several distinct and coordinated sections, including: A gender analysis overview; IUCN’s recommended core domains of a gender analysis; A dedicated section on GBV considerations in gender analyses; and Templates for many common actions (e.g. recruiting a gender expert, developing an action plan,) with many more recommended guidance tools and resources embedded throughout.
This document provides concrete guidance for organizations on how to comprehensively and explicitly integrate gender in their M&E system. It describes how to make each component of a functioning M&E system gender-sensitive and provides guidance on how to assess the organization’s M&E system to ensure that gender is fully integrated throughout the system for appropriate collection, compilation, analysis, reporting, dissemination, and use of gender data for decision making.
The Gender Guidance Process and Template was developed for country-level offices of health interested in developing their own gender guidance documents. The document is divided into two sections. The process section outlines a method for developing gender guidelines, following a strategic planning process of assessment, objective setting, strategy development, and M&E. The template section provides a template which summarizes the outcomes of the strategic planning process and provides guidance to implementing partners on how to integrate gender into their projects.
These practical guidelines are intended to help all those who work on results-based monitoring (RBM). They focus on the specific challenges of integrating the topic of gender equality by drawing up a solid gender analysis that documents and describes the gender-specific situations, challenges and opportunities and translates these into specific activities and interventions; systematically documenting the positive and negative effects that any activities and interventions have on gender relations and on the different life situations and concerns of women and men by setting up ‘an adequate monitoring system’.
This tool kit aims to assist development practitioners to ensure that gender perspectives are incorporated into development initiatives, and to monitor and evaluate gender equality results. The toolkit is designed for development policy makers, planners, implementers, and evaluators. The tool kit will assist specialists in particular sectors to identify gender equality results and indicators; it may also be used by gender specialists who work across a range of sectors.
This guidance note focuses on country gender mainstreaming responses within national programmes and across sectors. Using a technical illustrative approach, it unpacks the types and sequencing of decisions and actions at each level and step of decision-making—when laws, policies, budgets, and statistics for service delivery and programmes are being developed, operationalized and/or assessed. The guidance note discusses major changes in gender mainstreaming norms within the current global development context and provides general principles for implementing gender mainstreaming at the country level
This toolkit is designed to provide guidance and tools to support staff in integrating GESI perspectives in all stages of project Design, Monitoring and Evaluation (DME). The goal is to enhance the effectiveness, impact and sustainability of work from a GESI perspective. The toolkit includes practical guidance to help staff align relief and development programming with international GESI integration standards and best practices. The toolkit is based on a review of existing DME tools and approaches.
The facilitated self-assessment guide provides the opportunity to discuss and reflect on current strengths and how to improve processes that drive positive change in GESI through your projects and organisation. The guide supports individual and collective reflective practice among staff on the extent and quality of gender equality and social inclusion work in their WASH projects and organisation, and it designed for anyone working on WASH implementation or research projects that wants to improve (GESI) practice.
This Guide aims to strengthen programming by providing clear approaches and recommendations for projects that promote gender-sensitive SBC to improve nutrition outcomes within the context of undernutrition and food security. This guidance is based on the 1,000 Days approach, thus PLW and children under two are the target beneficiaries for this work. While it was designed for use in nutrition and food security programming, approaches may also be applicable to other sectors and programs. However, it may be necessary to tailor the recommendations and tools in this Guide to fit a particular program context.
