Resources

Our training materials can be used to introduce a broad range of audiences and backgrounds to important concepts related to gender and health. Each training course focuses on one of five themes that complement the CORE Gender 101 agenda: Gender Integration, HIV + Sexuality, Safe Motherhood, Gender-Based Violence, and Constructive Male Engagement. The courses are designed to meet the geographic and technical needs of cooperating agencies, USAID Missions, and specific projects. Materials range from basics such as using a shared gender vocabulary and programmatic guidance, to user guides on how to conduct a gender analysis, to exercises for gender trainings. The trainings are geared to be used by anyone and with any audience, even those learning about gender for the first time!

Our popular Gender Integration Continuum framework is an important tool to assess how programs do (or do not) address gender and move them toward more gender-transformative actions. An updated User’s Guide for facilitating training on use of the continuum is available, along with other materials.

This technical brief provides a theoretical framework that brings together SS as a critically important mechanism for improving the health workplace environment and service delivery, and gender analysis as a tool to illuminate human relationships, power dynamics, and norms.

        Public Guarantee of Child Support: A Key Policy for Improving the Economic Well-Being of Lone-Mother Families

        externally hosted at UN Women

This policy brief highlights the importance of child support for lone-mother families and factors that may prevent lone mothers from receiving this transfer and offers a series of recommendations to ensure regular and adequate child support is provided.
