The Effect Of Gender Equality Programming On Humanitarian Outcomes
Abstract:
Despite general agreement among humanitarian actors that gender perspectives should be integrated into humanitarian preparedness, response and recovery activities, however, GEP implementation remains inconsistent and unsystematic. It is unclear if substantial progress has been made in mobilizing resources for mainstreaming gender perspectives into improving humanitarian outcomes. Rigorous evidence and analysis of the impact of GEP on humanitarian outcomes has been largely absent. The purpose of this research study, “The Effect of Gender Equality Programming on Humanitarian Outcomes,” summarized in the following synthesis report, was to systematically collect and analyse evidence on the effects of GEP on humanitarian outcomes in Kenya (Dadaab and Turkana), Nepal and the Philippines.Provision of school buildings, and income-earning opportunities for women in cash/ food-for-work programmes. These measures enabled women to afford school fees and stationery materials for their children, especially for girls. This effect was particularly strong for single mothers. A women’s focus group participant in Baglek said:“The days are over when children were neglected and weren’t sent to school, especially girls.”
