Gender Watch New Toolkit for International Finance Watchers
by Anna
Rooke and Mande Limbu
Gender
Action announces its new user-friendly toolkit to help civil
society groups incorporate gender perspectives into their work on the IFIs or
into any other projects. When authors Anna Rooke and Mande Limbu
recently presented this toolkit at a workshop, participants wishing to
“engender” government budgets said it was the best gender toolkit produced to
date.
Our Gender Toolkit for International Finance Watchers
aims to fill the urgent need for concrete, easy-to-use, gender analysis tools,
sex disaggregated data and background information on key gender and development
topics. The toolkit contains sections on: 1. Gender Concepts
(terms, frameworks and key debates); 2. Gender Action Links (topical
briefings and action resources); 3. Gender Tools (checklists, indicators
and methodologies for gender analysis in specific sectors); and 4. Gender
Data (links to sex-disaggregated databases). All sections contain
electronic hyperlinks to a vast array of available gender resources. Just click
on an underlined word to be directed to the specific tool you need!
The
toolkit is intended to be a living document, rather than a static publication. Because new debates,
tools and data are constantly emerging in the gender and development field,
Gender Action intends to update the toolkit periodically. If you discover a new
resource that would be useful for the toolkit, please contact Gender Action at:
info@genderaction.org. We look
forward to hearing your suggestions and building upon your experience using the
toolkit in your work.
