Topic: Gender |
Gender-Based Analysis: A guide for policy-making has been developed to: i) increase awareness at all levels of government of the importance of gender as an organizing principle (a way of conceptualizing information; a way of looking at the world); ii) facilitate the development and assessment of policies and legislation from a gender perspective so that they will have intended and equitable results for women and men, girls and boys. The guide is divided into three sections. Section 1 defines key concepts and provides the rationale for gender-based analysis. Section 2, Policy Development and Analysis Process, outlines a commonly accepted policy analysis process and highlights how sensitivity to gender can be integrated into this process. Section 3, Gender-Based Analysis Methodology, offers a step-by-step process for gender-based analysis. |
