We wish to inform you that the Global Human Rights Leadership Training Institute (GHRLTI) is still accepting applications for the 2010 Edition of its Advance Certificate Course in Gender and Development Training, 23rd June – 30th July 2010.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course seeks to examine how gendered identities are formed and re-shaped as a result of the development process – and responsive approaches in a variety of historical and cultural contexts. It will equally explore how gender and development relate to other categories of social identity and difference, such as race, ethnicity, economic and social standing, urban or rural life, etc. The course will explore activities such as: gender-awareness and self-awareness for women and men; gender roles and needs; gender-sensitive appraisal (gender-friendly participatory appraisal (PRA)) and planning; gender research methodologies; gender and major global issues such as environment, culture and economic crisis; working with counterparts on gender issues; gender and development; and strategies for change. Further, attempts will be made on strategies to mainstreaming gender in the public sector and civil society organisations.
However, at the end of the course participants will be better equipped with the analytical and conceptual skills needed to understand gender issues in both contexts, enabling them to participate effectively in gender and development- related research, policymaking and implementation.
The maximum number of course participants is 30. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Participation from the Institute.
