Gender-Responsive Analysis Process
● The LGU assisted by a gender specialist or consultant formulates strategies and policies which benefit the general population cognizant of differences between social groups particularly between women and men and the differential impact of strategies and policies on them.
● The LGU assisted by a gender specialist or consultant identifies and selects supportive programs and projects that address gender issues and mitigate constraints and adverse impacts of the project on women and girls.
● The LGU assisted by a gender specialist or consultant prepares a Gender and Development (GAD) Plan that contains gender-responsive policy, program and project interventions. The plan is implemented as part of the PPP project.
The LGUs should consider the following gender mainstreaming framework:
● Participation of women and men in the full project cycle from project identification to implementation and operation.
● Collection of sex-disaggregated data or gender-relation information prior to project design
● Conduct of gender analysis and identification of gender issues
● Formulation of gender responsive strategies and programs
