Methodology:

The toolkit provides tips for designing a “gender action plan” and identifying appropriate gender targets and indicators relevant to the specific context.

It includes tools for analysis, policy dialogue and capacity building with a gender perspective at the levels of administrations and other actors.

The toolkit also includes guidelines for the detailed analysis, preparation and implementation of the action plan.

It is focused on structural changes and awareness and training of administrations.
