the Training

 

Making Governance Gender Responsive (MGGR) is a generic course that can be adapted and modified to suit the needs of the different countries in Asia-Pacific. Specifically the participants are expected to:

 

*      Enhance their understanding of Gender and Development (GAD), and governance concepts. 

*      Gain appreciation of gender-related and governance issues, and concerns.

*      Identify gender biases in governance.

*      Acquire skills in identifying and analyzing gender biases and concerns, through case examples of strategies and practices to address gender biases.

*      Identify gender biases in the participant’s sphere of influence - A Change Management Approach.

*      Formulate Action Plans: Institutional and Individual.

 

The initial MGGR Training module was developed by CAPWIP with the funding support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through its Asia-Pacific Gender Equality Network (APGEN) and the Regional Governance Programme for Asia and the Pacific (UNDP-PARAGON).

 

This is the ninth (9-12th) time that the course is being offered by CAPWIP, having successfully conducted eight (8) previous trainings held in February, June and October of 2004, in January and October of 2005, and in February, June and November of 2007.

 

Training Schedule (and codes):

 

             20-27 March, 2009             (MGGR9-1-09

 23-30 July, 2009                 (MGGR10-2-09)

 20-27 November, 2009     (MGGR11-3-09

 

Participants are required to arrive one day before the start of the training, and leave the day after the last training day.  The fees already include the expenses for the overnight accommodations before the day of the training. There will be guided city tour and shopping during the training’s free day, which is every Sunday. CAPWIP will provide lunch and group transportation with a tour guide on this day.

 

the Content

 

Content-wise, the course starts with the conceptual definition of gender and governance.  The training module will also have inputs on key aspects of governance (domains and exercise of authority) as well as the attributes of gender-responsive governance.  The course also introduces the tools for identifying and analyzing the gender biases in governance.

 

the Input

 

A facilitator/resource person will accompany the participants throughout the training to ensure that the theories are discussed as well as their practical applications with the various agencies practicing gender mainstreaming programs in their respective agencies.

 

 To name a few of these government agencies, we have:

 

*      Various Line Agencies of the Government  e.g. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)

*      Local Governments e.g. Quezon City. 

*      Various Academic Institutions e.g. University of the Philippines, College of Agriculture.

*      International Institutions e.g. International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)

 

Resource persons of other government agencies and institutions actively practicing gender mainstreaming programs will also be invited to share their experiences through the presentation of case studies, and will dialogue with the participants.

 

It is participatory!

 

To ensure that opportunities for maximum learning take place, the training will offer a combination of experiential, reflective, participative and deductive approaches congruent with adult learning principles and conditions. Thus, aside from lectures, MGGR will have workshops, structured learning exercises, case presentations, individual reflections and panel discussions to stimulate active exchange of views and sharing of experiences among the participants, the resource persons and the trainers.

 

More than the inputs of the resource persons and trainers, the success of this training is dependent on the quality of discussion among the participants.  Hence, the participants are encouraged to participate and share their ideas!

 

about the Organizer

 

The CENTER FOR ASIA-PACIFIC WOMEN IN POLITICS (CAPWIP) is a non-partisan, non-profit and non-governmental regional organization dedicated to promoting equal participation of women in politics, governance and decision-making.  CAPWIP was established in 1992 by a group of women from the Asia-Pacific region who have defined their paradigm for change as:

 

Politics that is both TRANSFORMED and TRANSFORMATIONAL.

 

TRANSFORMED because...

 

it uses power to create change, to develop people,

and to build communities;

 

it is non-hierarchical and participatory in its

structures and processes; and

 

it accords priority to the disadvantaged sectors,

such as the poor grassroots women in rural and

urban areas and indigenous women;

 

TRANSFORMATIONAL because...

 

it is development-oriented, issue-based,

and gender-responsive;

 

it seeks economic, social, and political equity between sexes

and among sectors; and

 

it builds a society that is just and humane and

a way of life that is sustainable.

 

The women of Asia-Pacific region will

create a system of politics that is holistic,

integrated, and life enhancing in its perspective.

 

CAPWIP operates through a network of affiliates from Central Asia, East Asia, Pacific, South Asia and Southeast Asia.  These sub-regional coordinating focal points and national affiliates are autonomous organizations actively involved in women’s political empowerment in their respective countries.

 

CAPWIP supports its network through technical assistance in organizational and program planning, training, research and information sharing, advocacy and networking. CAPWIP receives administrative and program support through voluntary contributions from its board members, and grants from bilateral and multilateral aid agencies, such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), and United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).

 

CAPWIP’s programs on training include developing modules and training programs for women’s leadership and responsible citizenship, based on the framework of transformative leadership, and conducting of trainer’s training for women’s political empowerment, transformative leadership and gender-responsive governance.

about the PHILIPPINES

 

 

The Philippines is the third largest English speaking country in the world. It has a rich history combining Asian, European, and American influences. Prior to Spanish colonization in 1521, the Filipinos had a rich culture and were trading with the Chinese and the Japanese. Spain's colonization brought about the construction of Intramuros in 1571, a "Walled City" comprised of European buildings and churches, replicated in different parts of the archipelago. In 1898, after 350 years and 300 rebellions, the Filipinos, with leaders like Jose Rizal and Emilio Aguinaldo, succeeded in winning their independence.

 

In 1898, the Philippines became the first and only colony of the United States. Following the Philippine-American War, the United States brought widespread education to the islands. Filipinos fought alongside Americans during World War II, particularly at the famous battle of Bataan and Corregidor which delayed Japanese advance and saved Australia. They then waged a guerilla war against the Japanese from 1941 to 1945. The Philippines regained its independence in 1946.

 

Filipinos are a freedom-loving people, having waged two peaceful, bloodless revolutions against what were perceived as corrupt regimes. The Philippines is a vibrant democracy, as evidenced by 12 English national newspapers, 7 national television stations, hundreds of cable TV stations, and 2,000 radio stations.

 

Filipinos are a fun-loving people. Throughout the islands, there are fiestas celebrated everyday and foreign guests are always welcome to their homes.

 

 

Climate: March to May is hot and dry. June to October is rainy, November to February is cool. Average temperatures: 78°F / 25°C to 90°F / 32°C; humidity is 77%.

 

Currency: The Philippines' monetary unit is the peso, divided into 100 centavos. Foreign currency may be exchanged at any hotel, most large department stores, banks, and authorized money changing shops accredited by the Central Bank of the Philippines, International credit cards such as Visa, Diners Club, Bank of America Card, Master Card, and American Express are accepted in major establishments.

 

Language: The Philippines is the world's third-largest English-speaking country next to the United States and the United Kingdom. There are over 100 regional dialects. The national language is Filipino.

 

Foods: Any food preference and dietary restrictions should be advised in advance so that adjustments can be made accordingly.

 

Visa requirements: For most foreign visitors, visas are not needed for stays of less than 21 days.  Three-month visa can be obtained in advance and cost around US$35. Multiple-entry (lasting six to 12 months) visas are also available but are expensive and only allow for stays of 59 days at a time. Visa extensions are possible and generally faster to obtain in regional areas.

 

How to get to the training site: Participants will be billeted at the CAPWIP Training Institute, which is also the training’s venue.  There will be representatives who will assist and bring the participants to the venue upon their arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). CAPWIP will also provide transfer from the venue to the airport.

 

Basic tourist info: Information and tour brochures are available upon request.  You can also browse the internet for more information on the Philippines: http://www.wowphilippines.com.ph

 

Reconfirmation of return flights: The CAPWIP Secretariat will assist the participants in the reconfirmation of their return flights.
