The course is designed for development practitioners seeking to build knowledge about gender and to improve practice in gender analysis for programme delivery, and for leaders responsible for building enabling organisational cultures. The course therefore attracts programme staff and managers in development agencies and government departments/ministries; women’s rights officers; gender focal points and gender champions; members of gender intervention teams, often known as ‘office gender teams’ or ‘women’s rights teams’.
