Capacity building, training and coaching

Capacity building for Gender Mainstreaming at all levels (from Govt. departments, engineers and technical staff, LGI staff, NGOs, and grass-roots user groups) is a core need in the water sector. Consequently this is a focus of the GWAPB and is recognised as the only way to go from ‘lip service’ to effective implementation at field level. The GWA approach is one of participatory and shared learning, building on the knowledge and experience that technical specialists already have about the significance of Gender Mainstreaming in their work.
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.
