Gender-based violence (GBV)
- Gender mainstreaming through the Gender Focus Programme (GFP)
-
This paper takes an in-depth look at the experiences of a number of organisations in the Middle East and South Asia who undertook the challenge of the Gender Focus Programme (GFP). The document recounts the analysis of the organisations, and the routes they chose to follow. It presents field experiences of managing the politically sensitive agenda of promoting gender equality in NGOs, and negotiating the contradictions between using Organisational Development tools and promoting gender equality.
