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.

A Provider Self-Assessment Tool to Measure Gender Competency for Family Planning Services

externally hosted at Data for Impact

This tool provides a method for measuring the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of individual providers in six domains of gender competency: gender sensitive communication, promoting individual agency, supporting legal rights and status related to family planning, engaging men and boys as partners, facilitating positive couples’ communication and cooperative decision making, and addressing gender-based violence. By completing this self-assessment, providers can determine their current level of gender competency, and thereby identify areas of strength and weakness in each domain.

    Civil Society Leverages Budget Data to Strengthen Advocacy for Domestic Investment in Family Planning

    externally hosted at PAI

    The Common Framework for Tracking Government Spending on Family Planning (FP) is an approach that holds governments accountable for meeting their commitments to fund FP supplies and service. Data collected using the Common Framework are summarized in FP budget scorecards, easy-to-understand visual snapshots that illustrate how much governments are actually allocating and spending on FP, as well as how transparent the government is in making FP budget data available to the public. This blog captures the experiences of four organizations using the FP budget scorecards to present findings and achieve their advocacy goals.

      Inside the FP Story Season 5

      externally hosted at Knowledge SUCCESS and Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)

      This season of Inside the FP Story, family planning program implementers, health providers, and community members explore the reasons why an intersectional lens is necessary for sexual and reproductive health programs, including family planning. Also, family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) clients share how their identities have led to unique needs, challenges, and opportunities obtaining FP/RH services—and offer recommendations for better meeting their needs.

          Closing the Poor–Rich Gap in Contraceptive Use in Rwanda: Understanding the Underlying Mechanisms

          externally hosted at Guttmacher Institute

          Using data from the 2005, 2010, and 2015 Rwanda Demographic and Health Surveys, 19,028 in-union women (15–49 years) were analyzed to examine trends in socioeconomic disparities in contraceptive use. The shrinking of gaps in contraceptive use by socioeconomic status coincided with narrowing of disparities in demand for children and with improvements in family planning services, suggesting that disadvantaged populations may have especially benefited from public programs...
