Guide to gender integration and analysis : additional help for ADS chapters 201 and 203

Promoting gender equality is a shared Agency responsibility and depends on all staff members to contribute in keeping with their roles within USAID. For example, senior management and Mission directors must hold staff accountable for compliance with USAID policy and procedures related to gender in development. Program officers enforce technical teams" adherence to gender programming policy.
