Major Capacity Building Activities
Developing Individual Gender Action Plans (IGAP) is one of the major outcomes of the capacity building workshops. The IGAP is a tool that helps build a development professional’s commitment ad capacity to mainstream gender in their personal work and life sphere. An IGAP is developed and implemented over one year, and may relate to the project/programme Gender Action Plan, but could also be developed and implemented independent of it.
GWAPB has conducted a number of capacity building workshops for various stakeholders including EKN supported projects (EKNsP), Water professionals, Researchers, Development activists, and Government Officials. Following are the major capacity building activities, conducted by the GWAPB.
