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.

Inside the FP Story Podcast Series: Season 6

externally hosted at Knowledge SUCCESS

Season 6 of the Inside the FP Story podcast will discuss the fundamentals of sexual and reproductive health—going beyond the sometimes-narrow definition of "family planning" to discuss issues like HIV, menstrual health, and self-care. The season features practical examples and experiences from community members, health providers, and program implementers from diverse settings to put research and programs into context.

    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.

      Essential Considerations for Engaging Men and Boys for Improved Family Planning Outcomes

      externally hosted at USAID

      This new resource provides a rationale for why men and boys should be engaged in family planning (FP) efforts in cooperative ways that improve FP outcomes and facilitate women and girls’ agency. It provides a framework for implementing male engagement in FP programming that focuses on transforming inequitable gender norms while engaging men as users, supportive partners, and agents of change.
