Project Approaches - Integrated Gender Component: |
|
Gender mainstreaming is an institutional
strategy aimed at giving equal opportunities
and rights to men and women as beneficiaries,
participants and decision-makers by addressing
gender inequalities systematically at all
stages of the project. A four-pronged approach
is needed to bring gender issues into the
mainstream in all policies, interventions
and activities of the project: carrying out
a gender analysis as part of the research,
carrying out gender-specific project interventions,
starting a process of institutional change
in project procedures and processes, and giving
girls and women a voice within the project
and having them involved in all the above.
The main strategies to bring gender issues
into the mainstream of the project and are
of an organizational and substantive nature.
Organizational aspects include amongst others
addressing inequalities in access of girls
and women to quality education and training,
targeting the poorest and most disadvantaged
households, and ensuring the equal representation
and active participation of women and men
at all levels and especially in decision-making
positions and mechanisms throughout the project.
Substantive aspects are, for example, increasing
gender awareness among all project stakeholders,
and analyzing the different impact of interventions
on girls, women, boys and men at the monitoring
and evaluation stages and developing appropriate
follow-up action.
