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
Gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation systems are as important as a gender-responsive project design. Gender-blind design projects can be corrected by formulating gender-inclusive indicators and conducting gender-responsive evaluations, thereafter keeping track of the project’s contribution to the goal of gender equality in the world of work. This guidance note explains why it is important to integrate gender equality systematically into monitoring and evaluation processes.
This toolkit is designed to provide practical guidance to OCHA staff to effectively integrate gender into their day-to-day activities.The toolkit comprises two sections.

The Toolkit guides policy makers in implementing the GEPL Recommendation, helping them design gender-sensitive public policies and services and enable women’s equal access to public decision making. The toolkit is design around four pillars: Institutional and governance frameworks for gender equality and mainstreaming; Gender-sensitive practices in parliaments; Gender-sensitive public employment systems; and Gender-sensitive practices in the judiciary. Each pillar of the Toolkit contains a self-assessment tool allowing policy makers in different areas to analyse their specific country and work contexts and identify gaps, weaknesses and strengths.
This toolkit provides practical guidance to support gender analysis and the integration of gender considerations into UNICEF programming, with intent. This toolkit addresses key questions such as: How can we make our analysis sharper in order to uncover gender barriers? What can we do to unblock systems bottlenecks and drive gender-responsive and gender transformative programming? What is needed to promote gender inequality as well as women and girls’ empowerment? How do UNICEF systems support measuring our programming, documenting our results and enable us to express a compelling storyline?
This toolkit is a step towards strengthening the institutional and individual capacity to undertake gender mainstreaming in UNICEF’s programmes and to advance policy commitments on gender equality. This toolkit provides practical guidance to assist UNICEF staff to effectively integrate gender into all aspects of their work and all stages of the programme cycle. The empowerment of women and girls is most effective if gender is a primary focus of all interventions – starting with assessment, analysis and design phases and through to implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
This guide support staff in examining and strategically addressing gender inequalities throughout all aspects of programing. Through the assessment process, users can better understand if and how the overall program contributes to mainstreaming gender equality, and devise next steps to work towards an overall gender transformative approach to programming.
The Gender Self‑Assessment Tool is a practical set of resources that can be used on a regular basis to plan and design programmes, and to monitor and evaluate their work in a participatory way. The layout of the toolkit makes it a useful companion for undertaking a thorough gender self‑assessment to evaluate and reform services to better promote gender equality. The resources in the toolkit are distinct: they work independently, but are connected. This means you can conduct your gender self‑assessment in stages and complete the entire process within six months.
Save the Children’s Gender and Power (GAP) Analysis Guidance is an essential tool to identify, understand, and address discrimination and inequalities that prevent children, their families, and communities from claiming their full and equal rights. It supports the design and adaptation of programming that positively transforms unequal power relations and ensures all stakeholders can equitably access, participate in, be decision makers for, and benefit from activities. It enables evidence-based programming and advocacy that advance gender equality and social justice.
