In the first example, the short term GAD objective or result could be the increased awareness of women workers on social protection services and welfare programs of the government. The attainment of which would increase their access to services, thus the issue of lack of access will be addressed. If the agency covers a wide geographic area, it may plan its information and technical assistance program so that certain areas are covered each year. In the organization-focused example, the GAD objective is availability of equal training opportunities for women and men employees, which is expected to increase the training opportunities for women employees and capacitating them to be more qualified for 3rd level posts (and thus address the issue of low representation). Since increasing women’s representation in third level posts cannot be achieved in one year, the agency may plan related activities (e.g. inclusion of women employees in trainings especially on management and leadership skills, profiling qualified women) until such time that the targeted percentage is achieved. The proposed GAD activity, which can either be client- or organizationfocused, should be stated as clearly and specifically as possible to facilitate budgeting. Client-focused GAD activities are activities that seek to address the gender issues of the agency’s clients or contribute in responding to the gender issues of the sector. Organization-focused activities may seek to: a) create the organizational environment for implementing gender-responsive policies, programs and projects; b) address the gap in knowledge, skills and attitudes of key personnel on gender mainstreaming; and c) address the gender issues of employees in the workplace, subject to the mandate of the organization. Agencies shall give priority to client-focused GAD activities. However, agencies who are in the early stages of gender mainstreaming shall give premium in capacitating the employees on GAD concepts and principles (e.g. Gender Sensitivity Trainings (GSTs), orientation seminars on GAD-related laws, institutionalization of GAD in the organization through policies, establishment/strengthening of the GFPS). 19
