Gender mainstreaming is an organizational strategy to bring a gender perspective to
all aspects of an institution's policy and activities, through building gender capacity an
accountability.
Adding women specific activities at the margin was no longer seen as sufficient. Most
major development organization and many governments have now embraced, gender
mainstreaming as a strategy for moving towards gender equality.
Responsibility for the implementation of gender policy is diffuse across the
organizational structure, rather than concentrated in a small central unit.
Any approach to mainstreaming requires sufficient resources, as well as high-level
Commitment and authority. A combined strategy can be particularly powerful. This involves
the synergy of a catalytic central gender unit with a cross-sect oral policy oversight and
monitoring role, combined with a web of gender specialists across the institution.
Organizations, is crucial for success. Mainstreaming tools include gender training,
introducing Incentive structures which reward efforts on gender, and the development of
gender-specific operational tool such as checklist and guidelines.
