Our lessons from our development journey have led us to acknowledge our responsibility to fully embrace, model, and apply the best practices in Gender and development in all our work and life. This requires that we actively identify and disseminate the lessons learned.
This Gender Mainstreaming Course encompasses decades of deep experience, learning from others, and our own journey in appreciating the roles and gifts that women and girls, men and boys bring to sustainable development and economic transformation.
