Our training materials can be used to introduce a broad range of audiences and backgrounds to important concepts related to gender and health. Each training course focuses on one of five themes that complement the CORE Gender 101 agenda: Gender Integration, HIV + Sexuality, Safe Motherhood, Gender-Based Violence, and Constructive Male Engagement. The courses are designed to meet the geographic and technical needs of cooperating agencies, USAID Missions, and specific projects. Materials range from basics such as using a shared gender vocabulary and programmatic guidance, to user guides on how to conduct a gender analysis, to exercises for gender trainings. The trainings are geared to be used by anyone and with any audience, even those learning about gender for the first time!

Our popular Gender Integration Continuum framework is an important tool to assess how programs do (or do not) address gender and move them toward more gender-transformative actions. An updated User’s Guide for facilitating training on use of the continuum is available, along with other materials.

 

 

The Cost of Inaction: The Consequences of Not Being Able to Reach Those Most in Need in Eastern DRC

externally hosted at World Food Programme

Humanitarian assistance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been inadequate for many years, with a widening gap between assistance coverage and growing needs. Due to these limited resources, the WFP has only been able to reach one third of the acutely food insecure in Eastern DRC, disproportionately impacting women and girls because of their responsibilities in caring for and feeding their households. As a result of this lack of resources, women and girls are forced to take greater risks to make ends meet, which leaves them vulnerable to increased cases of gender-based violence.
