Trainers" manual -- volume I : how to conduct a workshop to integrate gender considerations into development planning

It describes a workshop that will increase awareness of, information about, and skills for addressing gender issues in development programming. The manual derives from more than 3 years" experience by PPC/WID in following USAID"s WID policies and Congressional mandates and in designing and implementing more effective development programs and projects. The manual"s target audience is the cadre of training specialists working within or for USAID who need additional knowledge and/or frameworks in order to assist USAID personnel to better integrate gender considerations in development activities. The extensive information on workshop logistics, introductions to individual sessions, pre-workshop organization, flip charts, and other myriad details permit the manual to be used by persons with only limited training experience. The training design in this manual calls for an optimal participant population of 20 and not more than 40 persons. A companion manual, PN-ABM-011, is designed to assist NGO"s to incorporate gender considerations into their development activities. (Author abstract)
