This paper aims to strengthen understandings of training as a strategy to achieve transformative change for gender equality, rather than an instrumental or transactional activity. This involves reflecting on what has worked well and what challenges remain. In the context of the Beijing+25 review, the paper explores how training for gender equality has evolved from the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995 to the present day. It develops recommendations in line with the Secretary General’s Report of the 25-year review – by thematic area and by cross-cutting priorities for action. In conclusion, the paper argues that training should be acknowledged as a key component of gender-transformative change.
