Subject: Webinar Invitation, 11/15/11: The New Template for Conducting and Drafting Gender Assessments, with Caren Grown, PPL
Dear Colleagues:
On Tuesday, November 15th from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., please join Dr. Caren Grown, PPL senior Gender Advisor, as she leads a webinar on conducting country gender assessments.
A country gender assessment is mandatory to inform strategic planning for Country Development Cooperation Strategies and Development Objectives. Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment is the first operational principle of USAID’s new Policy Framework. Societies that empower women and reduce gender gaps experience faster economic growth, manage public resources more effectively, and benefit from greater agricultural productivity and improved food security. This is why USAID strives to integrate gender issues systematically across USAID’s Initiatives, ongoing programs and projects, performance monitoring and evaluation, and procurements.
Dr. Grown will present a new template for country gender assessments (attached) during the first 45 minutes of the webinar, and will respond to questions from participants in the second 45 minutes.
