Discussion: Strategies and Tools for Gender Integration

Presented by: Kristi Tabaj, Senior Specialist for Gender, TOPS Program; Advisor, Gender and Livelihoods, Department of Hunger and Livelihoods, Save the Children

Earlier this fall, the FSN Network hosted the online discussion “Identification of Tools for Gender Integration in Food Security Programming.” Those participating were asked to be as specific as possible when suggesting tools or guidance, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each and including details about what context the tool has been used in (e.g. emergency, development, geographic region).  Tools presented included audits, analyses, checklists, and manuals as well as other types of media such as video to demonstrate capacity building exercises. Participants also highlighted strategies and frameworks which led to successful programming.  Using the results of the online discussion, this session provided an additional venue to further the conversation.
