In order to obtain a successful process of gender
mainstreaming, the use of tools (such as a gender traffic light) only is not sufficient. Some preconditions need to be fulfilled, such as sufficient technical capacity, a gender friendly organisational culture, accountability and political will. A booklet on existing gender tools was prepared for a PSO gender meeting at The Hague on December 8, 2009. This overview has been updated in February 2011. Read the updated booklet op existing gender tools.
This booklet provides an overview of tools for gender mainstreaming at project level, and frameworks to analyze gender relations and roles from different perspectives. You will also find tools to mainstream gender in planning, monitoring and evaluation.
You can also read the report of this gender meeting (in Dutch).
