Key Emerging Issues…
 From the abstract to the practical
 Space for dialogue and engagement
 Donor engagement
 Gender = women?
 Sex-and-age disaggregated data (SADD)

Collection and use?

….Key Emerging Issues & Going forward
 Targeting the ‘right’ people for training
( designers/implementers, national actors)
 Gender minimum standards/commitments

GM as a ‘Criteria’ - quality of projects
 Consistency in coding: more engagement by designers
& clusters

….Key Emerging Issues & Going forward (ctd)
 Distinguishing between 2a & 2b projects

15% target on 2b (Protection & Multi-sector only)?

More funding towards 2b/esp. GBV projects
 From design to monitoring implementation :

South Sudan/Yemen/Zimbabwe = initial steps

MYRs = entry point
