Part of UNDP's new series 'Gender Mainstreaming: a Key Driver of Development in Environment & Energy'. This training manual is intended to help build greater understanding among UNDP staff and UNDP partners concerning the essential gender dimensions involved in ensuring environmental and energy sustainability. Although much of the emphasis is on why and how including a gender perspective can make UNDP environment and energy programmes more effective, it is important to remember that gender equality is itself a core value of the United Nations Charter and one of the internationally agreed-upon Millennium Development Goals.
For over a decade, gender mainstreaming has been part of UNDP’s official corporate policy, and the Environment and Energy Group is committed to strengthening gender mainstreaming in all of its programmes. Gender mainstreaming is a strategy that requires assessment of any planned action to identify the differing implications for men and women, so that both will be able to benefit and existing gender inequalities will not be perpetuated or exacerbated. Looking at relationships between men and women in this way may at first glance seem to be outside the scope of expertise of UNDP experts in the environment and energy practice areas. However, it is well within the capability of all development practitioners to design and support gender-sensitive programming both within their respective thematic areas and broader cross-sectoral activities.
Preparation of this training manual was supported by the Gender Thematic Trust Fund, and presented a valuable opportunity for collaboration among the staff from different segments of the Environment and Energy Group. UNDP hopes that it will prove to be a useful resource for all staff members, and that it will be supplemented by additional insights and case studies as more and more examples of successful, gender-sensitive programmes and initiatives are documented and shared.
