This course will strengthen participants' understandings of their gender equality context by scanning key international gender equality frameworks and the ILO Decent Work Agenda. Participants will learn to use tools to analyse gender issues in various settings, develop gender planning, and overcome various forms of resistance using proven strategies. The course draws mainly on existing, well-tested ITCILO training packages. Some modules have been developed anew, building on the materials produced and experience gained during in-house training activities.
