Short Summary
|
This manual, developed by Dutch NGO SNV (Netherlands Development Organisation), contains tools to carry out participatory gender audits of the organisation's programmes. It is a self-assessment methodology aiming at improving the organisation's performance with respect to gender equality and women's empowerment. The audit is carried out through interviews and workshops attended by people in SNV and in its partner organisations and facilitated by a team. Participants in the process assess themselves how well the programme under consideration has scored in the area of gender mainstreaming and women's empowerment and formulate proposals for improvements. All the methods used in the participatory gender audit promote self-assessment and allow workshop participants to learn how to evaluate gender equality and how to apply such objectives in their work. The manual specifies and explains the workshop activities to be carried out, proposes checklists and suggests methods, which include Venn diagrams, perception of achievement, historical timeline, interviews, gender quality tests, etc. It provides useful tools like handouts, criteria checklists, scoring sheets, which aim to support the workshop facilitation team during the interview, the workshops and the analysis of the findings.
