Design Programs That Work For Everyone They're Meant to Reach
Development programs that overlook gender dynamics often underperform — reaching some community members well and missing others entirely, without staff realizing it until results fall short.
This five-day workshop equips program staff with practical tools for mainstreaming gender inclusivity throughout the project cycle — from design and implementation to monitoring — so programs genuinely work for the people they're designed to serve.
Who Should Attend
Designed for staff who design, implement, or monitor development programs.
