The Compendium is intended as a companion to the 2015 Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines for Integrating Gender-Based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Action and its companion resource, the GBV Pocket Guide. The guidance was developed through the efforts of 15 organizations who contributed expertise in the inception, design and review of the document. The process was led and funded through support of CARE USA on behalf the CVA and GBV advisory group of the GBV Guidelines Reference Group.

CARE’s Gender Marker is a self-assessment program quality and learning tool. It measures the integration of gender into programming along the CARE Gender Continuum from harmful to transformative. The Gender Marker enables CARE to track, improve on, and support more effective, gender integrated programming. The Gender Marker is designed to be used in combination with Monitoring, Evaluation and Accountability systems to help teams reflect on the integration of gender in order to learn from and improve the gendered approach of their work.
Developed for the USAID Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems (ASSIST) Project, this guide outlines a unique gender integration approach utilizing the science of improvement to integrate gender seamlessly into activities. It aims to build the competencies of policy makers, service providers, and community health workers to analyze gender issues - including GBV - that affect development activities. It allows teams to identify gender gaps and issues affecting the achievement of improvement aims, design and implement activities to close these gaps, and document learning.
This framework offers guidance for how FHI 360’s research and programs can systematically identify and challenge gender-based inequalities that pose barriers to development. The Gender Integration Framework offers guiding principles, provides definitions, explains gender integration, introduces gender analysis and addresses gender integration in programs and research. If used consistently and adapted as we learn from daily practice, this framework can enable us to make gender a positive aspect around which individual lives can be improved and human development advanced.
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
