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. |
