Dear Colleagues,
The Global Human Rights Leadership Training Institute (GHRLTI) at the Human
Rights and Justice Group International is pleased to announce that it is now
accepting applications for its certificate course in Gender Development
Training. The course will be held online from 24 August - 24 September, 2010.
Please help circulate this announcement.
---------------
Course Description:
This course is designed to prompt an exploration of common behaviours and
attitudes towards gender differences. It will present facts and figures about
the situation of women and men in our society today -- and references from key
documents that highlight policies formulated to address gender concerns. Recent
events have shown that if governments are serious about achieving the
Millennium Development Goals, MDG's, it is essential that gender be taken into
account for all the goals. Gender equality in the MDGs touches almost
exclusively on the area of education, and research does show the importance of
equality in this area, but this is not sufficient. This e-learning course will
empower the participants with tools and sector-specific guidelines for gender
mainstreaming in their various institutions and development planning. It will
further improve the abilities of participants to reduce gender inequalities in
their various homes, organisation and communities.
The course also features a number of exercises and reflective activities
designed to explore basic gender concepts and enhance gender analysis skills,
which can be applied in the formulation of policies, the design of programmes,
and the exercise of evaluation.
Benefits:
The overall purpose of this training programme is to enhance the
gender-responsive planning of key institutions and the management skills of
their employees, so that they can more effectively play their part in
implementing gender-sensitive development policies as well as mainstreaming
gender in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, MDG's.
Target Audience :
The course is aimed at gender focal points, women organisations, programs and
project managers, researchers, policy-makers, activists, women advocates and
feminists, students, staff of NGOs and CBOs, staff of UN specialized agencies,
donor agency field workers, volunteers, development actors, trainers, students,
government officials etc. Candidates should have a good written command of English
language and high competence and comfort with computer and internet use.

scholarships available for this course for applicants from developing countries
and newly independent states, based on financial need.

Total Duration: 5 Weeks, approximately 25 hours learning time
