Capacity building and trainingOur training modules can be adapted to meet your needs,your target group and your institutional priorities. We trainall audience types using our basic, consolidating andsupplementary training sessions. At the conclusion of ourtraining sessions, you will have the necessary knowledgeand educational tools to mainstream the gender approachin your organisation.

Systematisation and construction of knowledge

We capitalise on the knowledge of people who have lived

through experiences to gain a deeper understanding of and to

improve practices: actions, collective projects, institutional

projects, skills, behaviour, socio-political struggles, and so on. This

will allow understanding them, to theorise them and to make

them forward-looking from a transformative perspective.

Development of educational and publishing toolsWe aim to make available educational tools based on yourorganisation needs. We create various tools like booklets andmanuals, games, exhibitions, posters, practical exercises, CDs,DVDs, and so on. Moreover, we have a documentation centre withhundreds of publications, articles and educational tools on gender.

Gender coaching or tailored coachingFirst, we conduct a qualitative and quantitative diagnosis to

identify the areas of progress and the challenges in your

organisation. Then, based on your needs, we work together

to build a personalised and effective response that will lead

to the development of a strategy that will integrate

woman/man equality relations at the practical and policy

levels and/or in a specific action.

Mainstreaming gender into programmes and projects in the North and the SouthWe help managers to identify, using gender analysis,

significant differences between the roles and responsibilities

of women and men, so that information can be obtained to

make policies, programmes and projects more efficient

and equal.

Evaluating development programmes and projects in the North and the SouthWe determine the relevance and the fulfilment of theobjectives, the efficiency in matters of development, theeffectiveness, the impact and the sustainability. We offeryou useful information to help draw lessons and improveyour future interventions. We conduct formative, summary,mid-term, final, ex-post, thematic, sectoral evaluations,impact assessment, etc.
