                      This webinar tackles the gender transformative approaches to development, which form an important part of the EU’s Gender Action Plan  - the GAP II.  These gender transformative approaches attempt to go beyond technical solutions to women’s empowerment and try to change the underlying discriminatory social norms that lie at the heart of gender inequality.
                      It also presents the way in which gender transformative approaches are being integrated into the rural sector, by discussing some innovative ideas that emerged recently, from a 3 day conference in Rome on gender transformative approaches.

                        Gender equality, women’s empowerment and the leave no one behind approach are key to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Nevertheless, even if the commitment to mainstreaming or integrating gender analysis and perspective across all instruments and modalities is gaining prominence in the Commission, the practice is not yet as robust as intended. In many contexts gender mainstreaming is happening in the social sectors but is limited to separate components in other sectors. Same applies also to the Rights Based Approach. Then, we need to strengthen our competences, both at HQ and EUD, regarding the new coming programmes.
