150 pages, Suggested contribution Rs.250/-

 

 

This manual is the second in the series on Gender, Diversity and Development,  produced by Visthar.  It has been conceptualised to familiarise gender facilitators with ‘conceptual frames’ on gender and ‘strategic frames’ for institutionalising gender within development organizations.

 

The manual focuses on equipping participants with  perspectives and skills on the following:

•     Advanced concepts on sex and gender in the context of development.  

•     Gender analysis and policy frameworks rooted in a social relations and institutional perspective.

•     Different elements of an organisation, and institutional, infrastructural and organisational change approach to institutionalising gender within organisations.

•     Institutionalising gender in vision, mission and strategy, programme planning, monitoring and evaluation and budgeting .

 

The manual has nine modules and each module consists of one to five sessions and includes:

•     Possible objectives of the session

•     Alternative training methodologies

•     Time and materials required for each methodology

•     Hand out on key discussion points

•     Annexes with exercises and recording sheets

      •    List of essential reading for participants and facilitators

 

How can this manual be used?

The facilitator could use the manual as a whole (requiring approximately 5 days), or only those bits that are relevant to the level of participants, their training needs, and the time that is available. The facilitator may also decide to ‘adapt’ the module instead of sticking to it word by word.
