You can access these modules and review their contents by creating a free profile on the toolkit platform.
The module contains two chapters:
1. How we got here: From “Women in Development” to “Gender-transformative and intersectional”
2. Designing, implementing and evaluating gender-transformative projects
The first part of Module 4 was delivered via Zoom on 24 April and included participatory learning activities that laid the groundwork for this in-person session. During the in-person training, participants will work collaboratively to incorporate gender-transformative and intersectional approaches into their project action plans, covering planning, implementation, monitoring & evaluation, and scaling up.
Preparation before the second part of the training course :
• Create a profile and review the contents of Module 4.
• Keep in mind your project that is funded by the Connect for Global Change programme that you will use in the practical exercises.
