The Inter-Cluster Gender Working Group is supporting the integration of Gender Equality to the ongoing transition process with the view to identifying priorities going into the recovery and reconstruction phase of the response. The Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) guidance committed to by the Government of Nepal, Inter-Agency Standing Committee commitments to mainstream gender in humanitarian action and recommendations on gender equality and social inclusion made in the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (2015) offer the framework for implementing an inclusive approach.
The following are some key considerations suggested by the Inter-Cluster Gender Working Group to ensure gender equality and women empowerment going forward:
1. Develop sex and age disaggregated monitoring indicators to ensure the differential outcomes are tracked and can inform programming,
2. Develop gender analysis tools and guidance across clusters/sectors at the district levels to inform recovery and reconstruction programming,
3. Ensure meaningful participation of both women and men through equal representation in decision making structures, formal and informal, at district levels.
4. Establish a harmonised targeting criteria to support prioritization based on specific vulnerabilities and risks.
5. Develop cluster specific gender guidance/checklist and capacity strengthening.
