| Abstract: | This Practical guide was developed in response to the difficulties encountered by local government trainers when addressing gender relations in local governance. The Practical guide is rooted in ACHR1 conviction that human settlement development cannot be gender-neutral, and that the equitable participation of women is essential at all levels of decision-making in towns and cities. One entry point for this practical guide is to ensure that its training materials and training programmes can assist local governments to understand the likely impact of decisions on gender equality and equity, and further to convince them of the importance of involving women in decision-making processes on an equal basis with men. This Practical guide aims at providing local governments with the tools to better understand the importance of gender in the decision-making process and to reach better solutions for the communities they serve. For this publication the following key issues of local governance have been selected: participation in local government, urban planning, service provision, local government financing, violence against women and local economic development. Each of these issues is introduced by a brief gender analysis. Numerous case studies illustrate what local governments can do. Reflection questions and training exercises help trainers to develop successful training events. |
