Gender
KIT has organized courses and training workshops on gender and development for over 20 years. KIT's gender courses and training workshops are geared towards development practitioners working at different institutional levels ranging from women's activist organizations, NGOs and research institutions to national governments and UN agencies. The courses are often developed in collaboration with partner organizations in the South.
Highlights
Through gender training KIT aims to:
- enhance awareness and understanding about the role of gender and citizenship issues in development
- provide skills to incorporate a gender analysis into planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and projects
- provide practical strategies and tools
Tailor-made courses
KIT organizes tailor-made courses on issues such as gender and development, gender mainstreaming, gender and governance, and gender, rights and development at the request of clients such as donor, multilateral, governmental and non-governmental organizations. Each course is developed together with local or regional partners and is based on a rigorous needs assessment.
International and regional training courses
By bringing together people from different countries and regions, KIT’s international courses create a forum for linking and exchanging experiences among a broad range of development practitioners. KIT has organized international and regional courses on gender, citizenship and participatory governance. In 2007 and 2008, the course Building capacity for rights: democracy and development in Africa was jointly organized with the Centre for Applied Legal Studies at the University of Witwatersrand.
Training team
The core training team for each course consists of KIT senior gender advisors, trainers from leading institutions in the South and faculty staff invited from research and development institutions in Europe and from the region in question.
