About This Course
This module provides participants with a practical and critical introduction to gender analysis as a core tool in development research, programming, and policy work. It explores the concepts, frameworks, and methodologies used to identify and understand gendered power dynamics, access to resources, division of labor, roles, norms, and intersectional inequalities. The training encourages participants to apply gender analysis not as a standalone activity, but as an integral lens throughout the programme and policy cycle.
