GTCoP - Community of Practice Training for Gender Equality

This training manual is designed to strengthen the role of civil society organizations (CSOs), especially those working on gender and women’s rights, in understanding the importance of mainstreaming gender into climate policies, programmes and budgets at the regional, national and local level. Part of its key objective is to enhance the understanding of gender and climate change linkages, as well as the skills and capacities of the CSOs for strengthening community-based women’s resilience and climate change adaptation so that climate action on the ground would more likely integrate a gender equality perspective. The manual uses country examples/case studies from within the region, where applicable and builds on already existing materials and trainings. It was developed as a comprehensive package to cover both beginners and advanced participants. Although it is focused on gender, the manual also encompasses other gender intersectionalities, including age, sexual orientation (all LGBTIQ), (dis)ability, and social status, among others. A training of trainers (ToT) package (including a user guide, a concept note, baseline survey and feedback formats, a sample programme schedule, presentations, facilitator’s references, handouts, etc.) is also included.

This paper looks at how gender equality and women’s empowerment are considered in the policies and actions supporting the integration of [non-EU] third-country nationals through education and training. Embedding a gender equality perspective in all policy sectors, including in the integration of third-country nationals, education and training, is a legal and political obligation for the EU institutions and Member States. The paper is based on a small-scale study and draws on: 1) a review of EU policies on migrant integration and education; and 2) a review of five Member States’ (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Sweden) policy frameworks and gender-specific actions. The findings show that the EU and its Member States can - and should - do much more and much better on the gender equality and women’s rights aspects of integration and education of third-country nationals.
