“To ensure women and girls, boys and men have equal access to and benefit from humanitarian assistance – we must “follow the money”. We need to know how we spend money and who benefits. This is why we are instituting a system of tracking funding – called a gender marker. Only in this way can we be sure we target all the population equally and make sure they receive the resources needed to help them to build back better after emergencies.” Valerie Amos ERC
HISTORY OF THE GENDER MARKER
PURPOSE OF THE GENDER MARKER
A SIMPLE and PRACTICAL tool; To measure/track inclusion of gender

humanitarian teams to be able to design their projects so women, girls, boys and men benefit.
In 2012 the Gender Marker is required in all UN-managed humanitarian funds and appeals.

CLUSTER AND AGENCY INSIGHTS FROM THE 2011 ROLL-OUT
Good news: practice is better than projects Many projects lack gender analysis / baseline Invisibility of women as farmers and fishers Invisibility of men in sanitation and reproductive
health Lack of nutrition and health data on boys compared
to girls Food for work and training often does not create
equal opportunities for men and women
RELEVENCE TO THE PACIFIC
Threat of the ‘big one’ – need for UN appeal Getting our response ‘right’ for beneficiaries –
efficiency and effectiveness Takes gender from ‘theory’ to do-able practice Brings more inclusiveness to our support of NDMOs
Resources: Gender Marker Toolkit; cluster specific e-learning (oneresponse.info/crosscutting/gender/Page/training.aspx)
GENDER ANALYSIS - exercise
Identify gender issues in:
Community water rehabilitation Re-opening schools Containing cholera & diarrheal diseases Emergency shelter NFIs Distribution of seeds and plant material
GENDER in the CLUSTER CYCLE
Baselines identify what men and women do, their knowledge and coping skills in your sector
Assessments strive for a gender balance in data collectors and in information sources
Cluster response plans feature the distinct needs/realities of men, women, girls and boys
Capacity is built in cluster partners to bring gender dimensions into projects
Vetting teams assign accurate gender codes Clusters monitor that projects implement as well as
they code
BENEFITS
Improved targeting to beneficiaries More cohesive projects More potential to attract donors
