Program Design

• Assessing Gender Needs and Barriers: Gender-responsive program design begins with a thorough assessment of the gender-specific needs and barriers faced by the target population. This may involve conducting gender analysis, surveys, and focus group discussions to understand the unique challenges faced by different gender groups.

• Designing for Inclusivity and Accessibility: Designing for inclusivity and accessibility involves ensuring that programs are accessible to all gender groups, including those who may face additional barriers. This may include providing gender-segregated facilities, accommodating diverse gender identities, and addressing gender-specific health needs.

• Monitoring and Evaluating Gender Impacts: Monitoring and evaluating gender impacts is essential for assessing the effectiveness of gender-responsive programs. This may involve collecting sex-disaggregated data, tracking progress towards gender equality indicators, and conducting gender-sensitive evaluations.
