how to maintain gender and inclusion in training projects

Wrapping up 2023 with the completion of this short course on Gender-Responsive Budgeting. I look forward to deepening my knowledge of this topic in 2024. 2 lessons shared by our facilitator that resonated with me: (1) Budgets, whether they are corporate, public, or even personal, are essentially where we can see and understand the real priorities. What we choose to finance reflects what is important to us. (2) At the heart of gender-responsive budgeting is the understanding that budget allocations are not neutral. We have to make informed and deliberate choices to reallocate budgets in order to achieve gender equality. Happy Holidays 😊

⭐Happy International Women’s Day!⭐ Women and girls, everywhere, must have equal rights and opportunity. Women's equality and empowerment is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, but also integral to all dimensions of inclusive and sustainable development.    In keeping with International Women's Day, we would like to draw attention to the area of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) in dual vocational training.     🤝 The guiding questions for DC dVET’s work on it were above all:  How can development cooperation promote GESI in VET in general and in dual VET in particular?   How can we ensure that GESI is considered when discussing, designing and implementing development projects in partner countries?   What can we learn from countries that have promoted integrative measures in dual VET?    ✍ Why is GESI important?  Overall, the interest in promoting GESI in dual VET stems from two main sources:    🎯 The business sector’s need to address skills gaps and shortages which could affect productivity and competitiveness; and  The aim of social justice, addressing the needs of disadvantaged populations and individuals. Achieving equity and social justice in VET and labour markets are essential goals of SDG 4 and 8, highlighting the goal of ‘leave no one behind’ and that everyone has the right to education, lifelong learning and decent work.    ❓ So, how can dual VET interventions most effectively promote GESI in partner countries?    ❗ You will find the answer here: https://lnkd.in/dTn9Aaiv & within our thematic Webinar and BarCamp series of Gender & Social Inclusion in Dual VET here: https://lnkd.in/eARex-_p      @Liechtenstein Development Service; Austrian Development Agency; Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit; Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ); Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH    #DCdVET #dualvet #development #cooperation #elearning #WomensDay
