Gender Audit
Governments and other actors have been urged by the Beijing Platform of action to promote an active and visible policy of mainstreaming a gender perspective in all policies and programs so that before decisions are made, an analysis is made of the effects on women and men respectively. The goal of gender audit is to contribute to strengthening processes by providing an assessment of any differential impact on males and females because of policies, programs, organizational structures and processes within organizations. Further to this, the goal of gender audit is to identify strategic initiatives that can be implemented to build commitment to and strengthen capacities for gender mainstreaming. Gender practitioners and managers, therefore, need this special skill of conducting a gender audit, which this programme will address.
