TRAINING ON PARTICIPATORY GENDER AUDIT FOR UN IN TANZANIA AND DEVELOPING A COMMON APPROACH TO GENDER AUDIT

In order to deepen the understanding and commitment to gender equality and women empowerment, the UN system in Tanzania has established an Inter-Agency Gender Group (IAGG). The IAGG provides technical advice to the UN on matters pertaining to gender equality and women empowerment and advises the Programme Working Groups under the UNDAP. To achieve its objective, the IAGG has developed a framework to support gender mainstreaming across the UNDAP; and capacity building to coordinate initiatives on gender equality and women's empowerment. In its workplan for 2012/13, IAGG has planned to build the capacity of selected Gender Focal Points (GFPs) and leaders of the UNDAP Working Groups on Participatory Gender Audits with a view to assessing the extent to which gender equality and women empowerment issues have been mainstreamed across individual agencies, UNDAP and resources allocated. This will also help UN to develop a common approach to gender audits, to ensure consistency and application of results. The UN system has requested ILO to undertake the training on gender audit and allocated resources from the ONE FUND.
