Overview

The impact of crises on people’s lives, experiences and material conditions varies according to gender. Humanitarian aid activities can reinforce or reduce existing inequalities.

In order to ensure needs-based and effective humanitarian assistance (and development projects in fragile context), consideration of gender aspects is inevitable. In the recent years, institutional donor agencies have required gender-mainstreaming and gender-markers when developing humanitarian (as well as development/nexus) projects. It is important to understand how gender aspects play a role in crises or fragile context, and to put this knowledge into practice in design and implementation of a project.

The aim of the training is to provide key approaches and practical tools that can lead to meeting the immediate needs of women, men, girls and boys affected by natural disasters and humanitarian conflict in a way that also addresses the underlying causes of people’s vulnerability, particularly as a result and cause of gender inequality.

The training is an in-person course with group works, practical tools, and discussions.
