Outcome 17_GLOBAL: Gender Mainstreaming, 2014-15 (Sida-ILO Partnership Programme 2014-17)

The gender mainstreaming component of the ILO/Sida Partnership Agreement (PA) is focused on ensuring that the PA per se is implemented in a gender responsive manner. The focus is therefore on working with the one Area of Critical Importance (ACI) and five Programme and Budget (P&B) Outcomes being supported so as to ensure that their outputs and activities are implemented in a way that pays attention to the needs of working women and men alike. The work will build upon what has been achieved in the previous ILO-Sida PA (2010-2014), will strive to implement the recommendations of the evaluation of the previous PA, and will make use of established ILO approaches to promote gender mainstreaming. For example the Participatory Gender Audit will be used to enhance the integration of a gender dimension in the staffing, structure and outreach of constituents; as well as established approaches on integrating gender concerns into youth employment, working conditions and freedom of association. In accordance with the terms of the PA, and as per 2012-13, four decentralized projects will be set up to facilitate gender mainstreaming in ILO interventions in the regions. Where these projects will be situated, and how precisely they will take shape is dependent on what and where the other Outcomes decide to focus their interventions, based on where Country Program Outcomes (CPOs) exist under the relevant Outcomes. This will be decided in due course. This document outlines the global component based in the Gender, Equality and Diversity (GED) Branch at HQ. It will provide overall technical, administrative and financial oversight to the gender mainstreaming component of the PA by providing advice and guidance on gender mainstreaming to constituents and ILO colleagues alike.
