Regional ToT workshop Gender mainstreaming in IWRM for the Bangla-speakers from the two Bengals
-
A Regional ToT in Bangla language was designed by GWA and held in collaboration with Pradan at CINI Chetana Resource Centre in Poilan in the outskirts of Kolkata, India, from November 25 to December 1, 2008. The ToT was meant to fulfill a long felt need felt by those working in this part of India and in Bangladesh for gender mainstreaming in IWRM. It was intended to assist participants with knowledge and the resources on gender as an organizing principle of water management. It was the first time that such a 'cross-border' linguistic initiative on gender and water was undertaken between the two countries. The report can be downloaded here.

Second Arab Region ToT Workshop: Gender Mainstreaming in IWRM
-
The second Training of Trainers workshop on Gender and IWRM in the Arabic language was organised in Jordan from 1-7 November 2008. It was organised in partnership with Cap-net and AWARENET, and hosted by the Queen Zein al Sharaf Institute for Development (ZENID) in Amman, Jordan. The 16 participants came from Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinian Territories, Egypt, Sudan and Yemen.
Lessons learned from GWA’s first Arab Region TOT held in Tunis (Nov. 07) were applied in this workshop. More time was devoted for understanding of the gender concept, gender responsive budgeting, gender and sanitation, and linking these issues to the reality of the region. In addition specific attention was paid to practical exercises and tailor made training methods to provide the participants with the skills and tools to train others in gender mainstreaming in their countries’ water sector.
The report describes the course programme from session to session; the animated discussions on gender perceptions; and explains through text and photographs the course methodology like the meta-plan technique, ranking exercises, role play on preparing a training course budget, and more.

Tutorial for Water Managers: Why Gender Matters (2014)
-
Together with CapNet GWA has developed a self learning tool for water professionals and others interested in or responsible for managing water resources. This was published first in 2006, and has now been revised and updated.
The tutorial wants to show how addressing gender will improve efficiency of water use and environmental sustainability. Therefore this tutorial first deals with the general concepts of gender and gender mainstreaming and then specifies to look at the following water sectors: drinking water, sanitation, agriculture and environment (including climate change). But apart from the "why" the tutorial also deals with the "how" of gender mainstreaming. To this end a quick-guide has been included at the beginning of the Tutorial, and in every chapter references and links to manuals, tools, resource centres and case studies are included.
