Gender Mainstreaming in Development Programming
Incorporating gender perspectives in programming is crucial for promoting gender equality, non-discrimination, and human rights. Gender-responsive approaches can lead to significant improvements in various sectors such as agriculture, education, and workforce diversity, ultimately benefiting both women and men. By applying a gender lens and challenging structural constraints, organizations can work towards achieving a more inclusive and sustainable society.

Why gender responsive programming 1. IT S THE RIGHT THING TO DO: Gender equality, non-discrimination on the basis of sex and gender identity, and access to sexual and reproductive health and rights are fundamental universal human rights principles Realizing women s human rights means: recognizing and addressing the underlying and/or immediate causes of women s and men s human rights violations; challenging structural constraints to the equal rights and choices of women and girls; and putting in place appropriate policy and programmatic responses in line with human rights principles. A human rights-based approach to gender equality also calls for the participation of marginalized, disempowered and discriminated against groups of women and men in decisions that affect their lives, and ensuring they benefit equally from development.

Why gender responsive programming 2. IT WORKS: Women equal access to resources and opportunities in agriculture could lead to an increase in agricultural output in developing countries of 2.5-4 percent, with the potential to reduce the number of undernourished people in the world of 12 17 percent, and lifting 100 150 million people out of hunger (FAO, 2011) Increasing the female employment rates in OECD countries to match that of Sweden, could boost GDP by over USD 6 trillion (PwC, Women in Work Index 2018) Girls education reduces high fertility rates, infant and child mortality, and maternal mortality rates. It increases women s labour force participation rates and earnings, and fosters investment in children education (UN Women, Progress of the World s Women 2015-2016) Diversity in the workforce improves staff performance and productivity; increased innovation, creativity and flexibility; improved understanding and penetration of markets.
