| In any intervention, careful consideration of the potential effects on both girls/women and boys/men is critical. Simply adding a ‘gender equality component’ to existing policies and plans is not sufficient; Instead, the views, experiences, interests and needs of both girls/women and boys/men should shape the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of interventions from the outset.
The Commonwealth of Learning sees this kind of integration of gender considerations into policies and plans as critical to gender mainstreaming. To guide the development of institutional policies and plans that integrate gender mainstreaming in this way, COL has compiled a selection of policies and plans from intergovernmental agencies and institutions to serve as examples for policy makers and planners.
