====== Welcome to CARE's Wiki on Gender! ======

//<font inherit/inherit;;#d35400;;inherit>**Please note that the CARE Gender WIki was recently moved and as such, certain links and documents may have shifted. If this is the case, please check the "Sitemap" for a listing of all pages or "Media Manager" for the library of documents (top right of webpage) . All tools should be accessible. If you have questions, please contact Diana Wu at diana.wu@care.org or Alyssa Bovell at alyssa.bovell@care.org. **</font>//

The purpose of this wiki is for promoting knowledge sharing and learning around gender in CARE. Our goal is to make this a space where any staff member who identifies as a gender change agent - formally or informally - can connect with others, and find or share key resources to help advance the cutting edge of CARE's work to promote women's empowerment and more just gender relations.

Be sure to check out the side bar on the left for access to more information and resources.

===== See Change, Show Change =====

Lives saved. Lives made happier, more productive, more dignified. These are the end goals that animate and propel us. At CARE those goals are made explicit in the CARE 2020 Program Strategy: //By 2020, CARE and our partners will support 150 million people from the most vulnerable and excluded communities to overcome poverty and social injustice//. But how will we know when we get there? CARE's new Global Outcome and Change Indicators are a set of 25 indicators carefully crafted or selected from pre-existing indicators, with linkages to the Sustainable Development Goals. Download this summary for more details (summary and postcard package).

[[https://insights.careinternational.org.uk/in-practice/care-gender-marker|CARE’s Gender Marker]] has just expanded to be used in both humanitarian and development programming! The CARE Gender Marker helps teams measure the integration of gender into programming from harmful to transformative, using a simple grading system from 0 to 4. Initially designed in 2013, this revised iteration of the Gender Marker builds on findings from the pilot phase and is now incorporated into CARE’s Project Information and Impact Reporting System (PIIRs). There are a series of short videos about the Gender Marker available [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLooTPTlkkX1cXCQx-mYCk9NcWGifSZZBE|here]]

Do you want to access training on how to use the CARE Gender Marker? A complete set of training materials are available [[http://gender.careinternationalwikis.org/_media/gender_marker_training_cos_-_session_guide.pdf|here]]. This includes a session plan for running your own CARE Gender Marker training including a presentation and training exercise. We are tracking how many women and men are trained in the CARE Gender Marker.

===== Gender Equality Training Resources =====

Are you planing a gender equality training workshop? **Don't reinvent the wheel, build on one of the many CARE gender equality training resources already developed.** We've got manuals introducing basic gender concepts, discussing gender in emergencies and CARE's approach to gender work, and touching on so many more topics. The results of the CIGN Capacity Building Resource Scan show what types of resources are available, and what CARE member or Country Office to contact for them. These resources were kindly shared by a variety of CARE offices in response to the call for gender equality training material below. The spreadsheet outlining available resources is a result of some of the CIGN's analysis of those resources.

===== The CARE Gender Toolkit =====

**[[http://gendertoolkit.care.org/default.aspx|The CARE Gender Toolkit]]is a CARE website that contains tools and resources for conducting gender analysis. It is available for use by staff and partners around the world. **

CARE staff are increasingly focusing on gender issues as key factors in underlying causes of poverty. Staff are using tools to analyze gender issues through situational analysis, M&E, impact measurement and organizational review of program interventions. The Gender Toolkit is a library resource for teams to use as they prioritize questions to ask, facilitate discussion with program participants about gender issues based on their experiences, conduct situation analyses, or plan and design programs, baselines, monitoring tools and evaluations.

The site is fully-public, and designed specifically to support program quality and other staff across CARE. The materials contained in the site come from across the globe from CARE's past experiences and lessons on gender analysis. Key pages include:

  * [[http://gendertoolkit.care.org/Resources/Good Practices Brief.docx|Good Practices Framework for Gender Analysis]]
  * Tools for analysis that relate to [[http://pqdl.care.org/gendertoolkit/Pages/context default.aspx|situational analysis]], and [[http://pqdl.care.org/gendertoolkit/Pages/understanding change.aspx|M&E,]]
  * Guidance on building from analysis for [[http://pqdl.care.org/gendertoolkit/Pages/Design.aspx|program design]] and [[http://pqdl.care.org/gendertoolkit/pages/advocacy.aspx|advocacy]]
  * [[http://pqdl.care.org/gendertoolkit/Pages/Forms/Case Studies.aspx|Case studies ]]for specific examples on how teams have prepared, carried out and applied analysis in their work.
  * Staff [[http://pqdl.care.org/gendertoolkit/Pages/organizational view.aspx|Training and Organizational Review Tools]]

No password is needed to access the site, but we do recommend signing in so that you can ask questions and post comments. At this time, the website and tools are only available in English, due to budget constraints that hinder translation. We welcome submissions of tools in other languages from Country offices or teams.

For more information or support on the Gender Toolkit, please contact: Leigh Stefanik ([[lstefanik@care.org|]]).

===== CI Gender Network (CIGN) =====

In 2006 gender specialists from most CARE International (CI) members agreed to form the CARE International Gender Network (CIGN) to coordinate and strengthen the quality of CI members’ work on gender equality and women´s empowerment as both a human right and a tool for development effectiveness. The CIGN held its first meeting in February 2007 and identified as a priority the need to review and assess the current status of country office and CI members’ gender policies and related initiatives. The CIGN focal points have since provided valuable contributions to support the implementation of gender equality, resulting in multiple promising steps and achievements across the CARE confederation.

**Want to know what the CI Gender Network is up to?**

a. [[:explanatory_note_on_care_s_gender_focus|Explanatory Note on CARE's Gender Focus]]

This paper clarifies key concepts and strategies to ensure that CARE has common and coherent understanding, practice and communication of gender equality across CARE. It provides the words and positions that CARE staff should use when representing our work. Available also in [[:arabic|Arabic]], [[:spanish|Spanish]], [[:portuguese|Portuguese]], and [[:nepali|Nepali]].

===== What is CI Gender Policy? =====

This Gender Policy defines CARE’s explicit commitments to support gender equality and the principles expressed in international agreements. The policy statement strives to make our collective programming efforts more effective, builds on commitments made in the existing Policy Statements and reflects subsequent developments in gender equality policies of development organizations working to end poverty and social injustice. It thereby, sets the stage for increased accountability. [[:read_more|Read more]]
