Gender analysis of development projects and programs
Summary
This course aims to enable its participants with cutting-edge hands-on analytical tools of gender analysis in the context of development.

Upon completion of this course, the participants will have a strong understanding of the concepts and approaches of gender analysis at the project and program levels; will be able to demonstrate a critical appreciation of the gender issues by describing and evaluating data from a gender perspective; and will have the skills to identify the gender concerns and gaps within development projects and programs.
