The ILO Participatory Gender Audit Methodology is a particularly proactive method, based on a participatory and learning approach at the individual, work unit and organizational level. The word “audit” has been normally understood to be “an accounting exercise” where an external expert evaluates a work unit and submits conclusions and recommendations to the management.

Course description

This course draws on the extensive experience the ILO has developed in-house in a series of groundbreaking gender audits involving staff and constituents from virtually every region in the world. 

The ILO Participatory Gender Audit Manual shall be used as reference material for the course.

Contents

The five-day course shall begin with an overall introduction to gender, work and development issues and an exposure to international experiences in mainstreaming gender concerns in public administration.

It will then continue with a full immersion in the GA methodology and its instruments. Areas such as:
• Mainstreaming of gender equality as a cross-cutting concern in the organisation’s objectives, programme and budget;
• existing gender expertise, competence and capacity building;
• information and knowledge management;
• choice of partner organizations;
• staffing and human resources; and
• perception of achievement on gender equality.

are among the explored elements.

The organisation of gender audit teams,  desk reviews, gender audit file preparation, participatory workshop implementation and structured interviews shall be presented to participants in both theoretical and practical ways.

Methodology

The course requires a very active participation, as its schedule is quite intense. Full and committed attendance is a must.

Participants
The course is open to representatives of governments, workers’ and employers’ organizations, civil society organizations, human resources consultants and professional evaluators. Previous knowledge of gender themes and direct experience in promoting equality issues is required.
Preference shall be accorded to persons possessing preceding experience in training, capacity-building, information dissemination, as the gender audit facilitator’s role requires the dissemination of knowledge and skills acquired.

Fluency in English language is required to fully profit from the resources offered.
