4. Why Mainstreaming of Gender in
Gender mainstreaming is the public policy concept of
Society
assessing the different implications for women and men of any
planned policy action, including legislation and programmes, in
all areas and levels.
Mainstreaming essentially offers a pluralistic approach that
values the diversity among both women and men.[1]

The concept of gender mainstreaming was first proposed at
the 1985 Third World Conference on Women in Nairobi,
Kenya. The idea has been developed in the United Nations
development community.[2] The idea was formally featured in
1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing,
China, and was cited in the document that resulted from the
conference, the Beijing Platform for Action. Particularly, the
Platform for Action stated:
In addressing the inequality between men and women in the
sharing of power and decision-making at all levels,
Governments and other actors should promote an active and
visible policy of mainstreaming a gender perspective in all
policies and programmes so that before decisions are taken,
an analysis is made of the effects on women and men,

5. Why Mainstreaming of Gender in
Society
Most definitions conform to the UN Economic and Social
Council formally defined concept:
Mainstreaming a gender perspective is the process of
assessing the implications for women and men of any
planned action, including legislation, policies or
programmes, in all areas and at all levels.
It is a strategy for making women's as well as men's
concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the
design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of
policies and programmes in all political, economic and
societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and
inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve

As a strategy for achieving gender
equality, gender mainstreaming involves
a process of incremental change in
policies, strategies and activities. The
long term objective is that attention to
gender equality will pervade all policies,
strategies and activities so that women
and men influence, participate in, and
benefit equitably from all interventions.
Documenting good practice in
mainstreaming gender equality entails
recording positive steps made towards
achieving this goal. Although the policy,
project or activity may not yet be perfect
from a gender equality perspective, it is
still possible, and important, to record
positive steps in the right direction.

9. Strategy for Good practice
examples for Pakistan
Good practice examples should
document how gender equality
concerns were made central to
policy-making, legislation,
resource allocation, planning
implementation and monitoring of
projects and programme.

They should, if possible,
document the transformational
aspect of mainstreaming -the
impact that consideration of
gender equality aspects has in
terms of changes to goals,
strategies, actions, outcomes andAsif

Policies;

Advocacy efforts;
Legislation;
Research and other analytical work;
Statistics- greater sex
disaggregation, improved gender
analysis of data, or identifying gaps
in the data base;
• Development of indicators and
improved monitoring;
• Medium-term plans and budgets;
• Procedures and processes.

11. Documenting good practice examples on
the mainstreaming strategy
A good practice example could also document positive
organizational changes necessary to promote gender
mainstreaming, such as:
• Competence development on mainstreaming;
• Establishment of a gender unit or focal point with
a clear mandate and necessary resources to
promote and support mainstreaming;
• Indication of management commitment to
mainstreaming;
• Establishment of accountability mechanisms;
• Development of guidelines, manuals, and other
tools to support mainstreaming:
• Establishment of a resource base of relevant
gender equality expertise for mainstreaming.

12. Documenting good practice examples on
the mainstreaming strategy
Documentation of organizational change to support the
mainstreaming process must go beyond simply describing
the changes implemented to a discussion of the anticipated
and achieved impacts of the changes. In the case of
development of guidelines, for example, there should be
discussion of the usage of these guidelines and the impact
on day-to-day work.
Good practice examples can also be documented on
changes made to develop national environments
conducive to the implementation of the
mainstreaming strategy. These could entail:
• Provision of training on mainstreaming for line
ministries;
• Developing the capacity of the national machinery
to advocate for mainstreaming.

14. Suggested format for documenting good
practice examples
A format for documenting good practice examples has been
discussed. The good practice example (2 pages only) should
follow the format below.
1.
Background on the overall intervention in which the good practice process/
activity takes place.
2. The reason changes in relation to gender equality were required- related to
achievement of social justice/human rights and/or effective achievement of the
goals of the programme.
3. The objective of the process / activity being recorded as good practice.
4. The strategy adopted to achieve this objective.
5. The outcome - specific changes as a result of the process /activity, and how
these relate to the objectives set.
6. The factors contributing to / hindering the success of the process / activity.
7. Any ways in which the good practice activity could have been improved.
8. Plans to follow-up the good practice activity and the potential / constraints in
relation to moving forward.
9. Any other lessons learned from the process.
10. The possibility for replication or spin-off effects.
