This handbook identifies the key concepts, principles, and approaches underlying gender mainstreaming. It outlines opportunities to apply gender analyses across different contexts and manage for gender equality results. It also illustrates how to identify opportunities for organizational change, enhance financing for gender equality, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation for the oversight of the results of gender mainstreaming.
While the Handbook is focused specifically on the more traditional areas of development policy and practice, the discussions, findings, and recommendations are equally applicable in the context of humanitarian responses and programmes in conflict and peace-building contexts.
