Summary: The course is designed for middle and senior
level government executives, women and men

organisations who are leading or participating
in governance reform initiatives in their
respective countries.
The workshop intends to help participants to:
- Enhance understanding of gender and development + governance
concepts
- Gain appreciation of gender-related and governance issues and concern
- Identify gender biases in governance
- Acquire skills in identifying and analysing gender biases and concerns
through examples of strategies and practices to address gender biases
- Identify gender biases in the participant's sphere of influence - A Change
Management Approach
- Formulate Action Plans: Institutional and Individual
The course is composed of three modules developed to enhance
participants' understanding of the link between gender and governance as
well as increase their awareness of gender biases in governance. The
training is being offered and designed for a small group of about 25 to 30
participants.
The first, second, third and fourth batches of MGGR trainings were
successfully held last February, June, October of 2004 and January 2005 at
the CAPWIP Institute for Gender, Governance and Leadership, located at
Hostelling International Manila, 4227-4229 Tomas Claudio Street, Baclaran,
Paranaque City, Philippines. These trainings were attended by participants
from different countries in Asia, Pacific, Africa and Europe.
The training course at present was revised and redesigned based on the
feedbacks from the previous trainings. The course has been expanded to a
six-day course (originally designed for three days), and the course is now
heavy on case studies and field trips.
