Formulation of Gender and Development (GAD) Plan and Budget

INSTRUCTIONS

Gender analysis of agency mandate and existing P/A/P(s) (Column1)

The objective for reviewing the agency mandate and existing P/A/P(s) is to
surface the gender issues that the agency should address.

Agency P/A/P(s) to be reviewed must be major, centrepiece programs.


Likewise, the review must not be limited to those P/A/P(s) that have obvious
connections to women such as shelter for abused women, police women’s desk,
women and children protection units in hospitals, micro finance credit windows for
women, and policy research on emerging gender issues.

The Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Framework shall be the


guiding framework in reviewing the agency’s existing P/A/P(s). Sex-disaggregated
data must also be used when analyzing the agency’s P/A/P(s). The absence of such
kind of data, however, should not prevent agencies from undertaking a gender
analysis of its P/A/P(s). The Framework Plan for Women, the Philippine Plan fro
Gender-responsive Development and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms
of Discrimination Against Women may serve as references for identifying the gender
issues should likewise be undertaken to validate and further define the gender issues
articulated in the above-mentioned documents.

Agencies without sex-disaggregated data must identify the disaggregation of


data by sex as a GAD activity to be prioritized for implementation so as to avoid
reporting the same problem in the following years.

Gender analysis and planning tools facilitate surfacing of gender issues. A


compilation of such tools are also available at the NCRFW Office, however, use of
said tools may require the same problem in the following years.

Agencies are advised to seek the assistance of the NCRFW and members of
the GAD Resource Network (GRN) when undertaking a gender analysis of their
mandate and existing P/A/P(s). A list of the members of the GAD Resource Network
may be requested from the NCRFW or it can be accessed from NCRFW’s web page at
www.ncrfw.gov.ph.

Identification of gender issues (Column 2)

A list of gender issues is the output of the gender analysis of the agency
mandate and existing P/A/P(s). the objective of this action then is to prioritize the
gender issues that the agency will commit to address within the year.

A gender can be classified as client-focused or organization-focused. A client-


focused gender issue articulates the extent of disparity of women and men over
benefits from and contribution to a program and/or project of the agency. On the
other hand, an organization-focused issue points to the gap in the capacity of the
organization to integrate a gender dimension in the activities of its programs and
projects.

Agencies may choose to address all the gender issues that were identified or they may
opt to prioritize and address certain gender issues only. The GAD Focal Point,
however, must ensure that gender issues that have not been prioritized shall be
addressed by the agency in the next planning year.

Setting of GAD objectives (Column 3)

The objective of this point is to clarify and spell-out what the agency intends
to accomplish vis-à-vis each gender issue that the agency commits to address.

The GAD objective must describe the intended outcome. (e.g. to increase
understanding of GAD concepts of the 20 technical staff of the planning unit by
August 2003) rather than merely state the intended activities of the agency. (e.g.
to conduct a Gender Sensitivity Training). It must be specific, measurable, attainable,
realistic and time-bound.

Identifying intended outcomes will help the agency identify appropriate GAD
activities; keep its direction and ensure proper focus during implementation; and
assess its accomplishments and gains vis-à-vis the gender issues identified.

Identification of GAD activities (Column 4)

The objective of this action is to identify corresponding intervention for each


gender issue that the agency commits to address.

Said intervention may take the form of the agencies’ existing P/A/P(s) but
enhanced with the GAD perspective OR it may take the form of a reformulated P/A/P.

The activities that will make the agency or the existing P/A/P(s) of the agency
address the gender issues of its clients or organization are called GAD activities. The
GAD activities can either be client-focused or organization-focused.

Client-focused GAD activities are activities that seek to address the gender
issues of the agency’s clients. Among others, it could be the inclusion of GAD in the
modules used by agencies when training their women and men clients; the revision of
program policies or procedures that hinder women’s full access to program resources
and services; and the inclusion and implementation of components or activities that
will ensure the delivery of goods and services to women.

For oversight agencies whose clients are government organizations, client-


focused GAD activities may include the review and integration of GAD in policies,
database systems, monitoring and evaluation, or integration of GAD in training
modules of government employees.

Organization-focused activities are activities that seek to a) create the


organization environment for implementing gender-responsive policies, programs and
projects; and b) address the gender issues of employees particularly those that affect
women’s performance as government workers like sexual harassment, low
participation of women in human resource development undertaking and decision-
making structures and processes, and lack of support to ease women’s multiple burden
such as daycare in the workplace.

Agencies shall give premium to client-focused GAD activities that the


organization-focused GAD activities.

Setting of targets (Column 5)

The objective of this action is to identify the quantitative and qualitative


results that the agency is aiming for. Results refer to the change that has occurred
after implementing the activity. The two types of results are the immediate results of
the activity (output) and the more distant change (outcome) that are anticipated or
actually have occurred as a result of a series of related activities and achieving a
combination of outputs.

Targets must define not only the expected outputs and target groups but also
the measurable desirable outcomes of gender mainstreaming within the agency and in
relation to the agency’s clients. These will be the bases for monitoring and evaluating
the agency’s accomplishments and achievements on GAD.

Setting of performance indicators (Column 6)

The objective of this action is to identify the quantitative and quantitative and
qualitative measures of progress vis-à-vis the achievement of the targets set by the
agency.

Quantitative indicators are measures or evidences that can be counted while


qualitative indicators are measures or evidences that provide meaning and
understanding of the clients’ experiences.

Costing of the GAD activities (Column 7)

The objective of this action is to determine the amount to be allocated by the


agency for the implementation of its GAD activities contained in the fourth
column.
