Trainings

This blended course will enable participants to explore participatory gender auditing (PGA) tools and their versatile use in small and large organisations. Participants' competencies will be developed during the distance learning part of the course (4 September - 6 October 2017) and tested during the face-to-face training in Turin, Italy (13 October 2017). Successful participants will become certified facilitators accredited to conduct PGAs in various types of organisations such as United Nations agencies, private, public and para-public institutions and NGOs.

The ILO PGA certification will ensure high quality standards for facilitators implementing the PGA and will provide guarantees to organisations undergoing a PGA that certified PGA facilitators reflect the quality standards set out by ITC-ILO. Specifically, the certification will provide facilitators with competencies like: 

• Applying a gender perspective to analytical work; 
  
• Detecting and mapping discrimination at work; 
• Identifying strategies for advocacy and capacity-building in promoting inclusive workplaces; 
• Improving communications competence and organisational capacity to form a coordinated Gender Audit team; 
• Analysing accountability, evaluation and monitoring systems and instruments in place for gender equality and change management; and
• Identifying challenges and potential improvements.
