Blog Series: Getting started on gender+ and intersectionality in project design, Part 3
OUR STEP BY STEP GUIDE
by Patrick Regan and Raphaela Van Oers
Our two previous blog posts have hopefully provided a concise introduction to the important definitions, theories, and approaches surrounding gender and intersectionality. Our final post, the last in our series, is our step-by-step guide to integrating gender+ and intersectionality in project design.
The guide consists of clear and comprehensible steps that can be incorporated into your organisation’s next, or even existing, projects and programmes. Our steps draw on some of the existing tools from the resources included in the literature review, as well as our own expertise and approaches to gender and intersectionality.
Our resource outlines in detail 14 key steps:
Establishing a ‘do no harm’ framework
Form a working group
Check existing organisational approaches
Bias reflection
Identify and articulate the project scope
Establish the research and analysis framework and conduct the research
Mapping the stakeholders
Bias Reflection (again!)
Design or adapt your project based on the gender+ analysis findings
Do a gender responsiveness sense check
Consider operational factors
Planning for listening and stakeholder accountability
Conduct another sense check
Develop a MEL Plan
