2-day workshop: The What and How of Gender-aware Monitoring

The MENA Network, KVINFO and Gendernet are organising a two day workshop about gender-aware monitoring on 8-9 February 2012. The workshop will help you to plan and implement monitoring that is sensitive to the effect of an intervention on different groups of women and men and captures the impact on gender equality and rights. Day one focuses on 'what' to monitor: developing gender-aware and rights-sensitive indicators. Day two explores 'how' to collect and use data, taking into account gender relations, the rights addressed by the intervention and the practicalities of programme/project management. The agenda will include time to apply new knowledge and skills to own work - participants are asked to bring a programme /project plan for which they need to develop indicators and a monitoring plan.

Participants should have a basic understanding of gender analysis and some familiarity with results-based planning.

Workshop objective:

• To increase awareness of what a ‘gender and rights’ approach to development means for what and how agencies monitor programmes, projects and partners
• To strengthen skills for planning and implementing monitoring that is gender-aware and effective in tracking progress on gender equality and rights.

Trainers are advisor Chris Hunter and senior advisor Katrine Danielsen from Development Policy & Practice, Social Development & Gender Equity, the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in the Netherlands.

Time: 8-9 February 2012, 8.30-16
