ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE-
POLICY
The Policy questionnaire consists of 13 descriptors that track the progress of an
organization’s efforts in integrating GAD in its plans and policy issuances.

³ At the Foundation Formation level, organizations issue policies supporting the

elements of GAD Planning and Budgeting, review existing policies to ensure
consistency with new GAD issuances, and issue documents to support
attendance to PCW-led GAD-related events.

³ At the Installation of Strategic Mechanisms level, organizations progress to

the issuance of policies to address gender issues using gender-fair language and
images among its internal and external clients.

³ At the GAD Application level, a GAD agenda or strategic framework is already

adopted and implemented to ensure that GAD is being integrated in the
organization’s major programs and projects.

³ At the Commitment Enhancement and Institutionalization level, the plans

and policies of the organization have already resulted in positive impacts.

³ At the Replication and Innovation level, these plans and policies are
continually enhanced and used as standards by other organizations in
developing their own gender-sensitive policies and plans.

ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE-
PEOPLE
The People questionnaire consists of 27 questions that assess the progress of an
organization’s efforts in ensuring that its people, whether top management, GAD Focal
Point System (GFPS) members or employees are gender-responsive and supportive of the
organization’s gender mainstreaming efforts.

³ At the Foundation Formation level, the organization designates key people to

be part of its GFPS and ensures that the appropriate capacity development
sessions on GAD are provided to its top management, GFPS and staff members;

³ At the Installation of Strategic Mechanisms level, the organization moves from

the conduct of GAD orientation sessions towards ensuring that its program
implementers are trained to do gender analysis, and clients are given
opportunities to articulate their gender issues as per direction of its top
management;

³ During the GAD Application level, top management GFPS members and
program implementers are consciously integrating GAD in the organization’s regular
operations.

³ At the Commitment Enhancement and Institutionalization level, the

organization’s GFPS members are already tapped as GAD resource person
within the organization and are able to develop GAD-related tools, customized to
the mandate of the organization; and

³ At the Replication and Innovation level, the people of the organization are
already recognized and tapped as GAD experts by other organizations, while its
top management is able to raise GAD concerns during high level
meetings/discussions.

 GMEF ORGANIZATIONAL
ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE-
ENABLING MECHANISMS
The Enabling Mechanisms questionnaire consists of 23 questions that assess the
progress of an organization’s efforts in ensuring that mechanisms to mainstream the GAD
perspective are established and fully functional.

³ At the Foundation Formation level, the organization has established or

reconstituted its GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) as a catalyst for gender
mainstreaming. It is also at this level where the organization has conducted
exploratory engagements with PCW and other GAD-related institutions and experts;

³ At the Installation of Strategic Mechanisms level, other GAD mechanisms that

will address the needs of the organization’s internal and external clients are
established, and there is a marked increase in the utilization of the GAD Budget.

³ At the GAD Application level, the organization judiciously utilizes more than the
minimum 5% GAD budget allocation while boasting of a fully functioning M&E
System and has set-up a Knowledge Management System.

³ At the Commitment Enhancement and Institutionalization level, the

organization’s enabling mechanisms can now track desired gender-related
impacts and are able to produce GAD-related knowledge products; and

³ At the Replication and Innovation level, the enabling mechanisms are

recognized as models by other organizations and the whole budget of the
organization is fully gender-responsive.

 GMEF ORGANIZATIONAL
ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE-
PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES/PROJECTS (PAPs)
The PAPs questionnaire consists of 30 questions that assess the organization’s
progress in mainstreaming GAD in all of its programs, activities and projects, whether
through policy and/or plan formulation and issuances, capacitating the GFPS members,
generating top-level management support on GAD and the establishment of enabling GAD
mechanisms.

³ At the Foundation Formulation level, the organization has expressed initial support
to gender mainstreaming through conduct of GAD capacity development sessions
for its GFPS members, top management and the rest of its employees. It has also
involved clients to ensure that their gender issues are taken into account, while also
engaging with PCW and relevant organizations and individual experts on GAD. It is
also at this stage that the organization plans or sets-up a GAD corner containing
GAD IEC materials or references for the use of its clients (internal and external).

³ At the Installation of Strategic Mechanisms level, the organization already has a

GAD agenda or strategic framework to guide its gender mainstreaming efforts
through the implementation of its GAD Plan and Budget. Deepening sessions for
GFPS members and concerned staff members are also conducted, especially on the
application of gender analysis tools. These sessions are meant to further guide them
on how to intensify gender mainstreaming efforts in the organization. Lastly, IEC
materials are customized for the organization’s use and a GAD section in the website
is planned or set-up.

³ At the GAD Application level, the organization ensures that the implementation
of its GAD PAPs, especially those in the GAD Plan and Budget are monitored.
External clients are also capacitated through relevant GAD sessions. Finally, a
Knowledge Management (KM) system to ensure the transfer of knowledge on
GAD is set-up.

³ At the Commitment Enhancement and Institutionalization level, the

organization ensures that monitoring of its GAD PAPs is sustained and its impacts
evaluated. Sector- specific GAD capacity development sessions for both internal
and external clients are also conducted, as well as periodic applications and re-
application of gender analysis tools to ensure integration of GAD in the
organization’s PAPs. A sustainability action plan for GAD is also developed.

³ At the Replication and Innovation level, the organization is now recognized as

a learning hub for its noteworthy GAD efforts with convergence models resulting
from its partnerships. GAD knowledge products and IEC materials produced by the
organization are also utilized by other organizations as references or models to
develop their own GAD-related materials.
