TWO DAY WORKSHOP

The What and How of Gender-aware Monitoring

The MENA Network, KVINFO and Gendernet are organising a two day workshop about gender-aware monitoring. The workshop will help you to plan and implement monitoring that is sensitive to the effect of an intervention on different groups of women and men and captures the impact on gender equality and rights. Day one focuses on 'what' to monitor: developing gender-aware and rights-sensitive indicators. Day two explores 'how' to collect and use data, taking into account gender relations, the rights addressed by the intervention and the practicalities of programme/project management. The agenda will include time to apply new knowledge and skills to own work - participants are asked to bring a programme /project plan for which they need to develop indicators and a monitoring plan.

NEW PUBLICATION ON GENDER & GOVERNANCE

Strengthen Women’s Influence in Political Life – Learnings from Danish NGOs and Their Southern Partners

Gendernets thematic group on Gender & Governance is proud to present a new  publication on good governance and gender equality. The publication brings together stories from Danish NGOs and their partner organisations on good governance, participation and gender equality. The stories focuses on women's participation in various aspects of political life and on the obstacles women meet in the form of informal power structures, social norms and expectations. It is the hope that the publication can contribute to knowledge sharing and learning among NGOs in the North and South, and that the publication will serve as inspiration towards future interventions that integrate gender and governance.

ActionAid Denmark, IBIS, Danish Mission Council Development Department and DanChurchAid have contributed to the publication.For further information please write to Gendernets coordinator Olga Ege on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
