PARTiciPATiOn I A s c g e n D e r h A n D b o o k Assessment AnD progrAmme DesIgn AnD monItorIng: unhcr’s pArtIcIpAtory Assessment tool unhCr’s participatory assessment tool gives comprehensive information on methods for engaging community and individual participation in assessment, including how to: • map diversity. Better understand communities by breaking them down according to age, sex, ethnicity, caste/clan, religion, socioeconomic status, level of education, whether urban or rural and any other social distinction, in order to gain a representative sample of the different people who live in the operational context. this process assists in identifying which groups may have been overlooked or might not have participated as yet. for example, use registration and data systems to ensure all are represented. • ensure broad representation by engaging the community in mapping exercises such as meetings and discussions through, for example, separate subgroups of women and men; meetings with groups or individuals with particular needs or risks; engaging existing leadership structures; and structured and semi-structured focus groups at both the community and household levels. • use various methods of inquiry such as observation, spot checks and informal chats at playgrounds, classrooms, firewood-collection areas, markets, transportation hubs, entrances to un offices and queues for non-food items as a way to check conditions and better understand what individuals think about their situation, how they are organized and solutions they can offer to address needs and risks. the tool also gives guidance on incorporating the information gathered into programme design, delivery and analysis, such as: • selecting themes for analysis through, for example, incorporating information gathered into country operations plans and budget planning cycles — to help guide the focus on identifying root causes and ensuring solutions are geared toward systemic, holistic and inclusive impact; • linking the information gathered and analysed to programme design, implementation and accountability of community and agency. for example establishing “multisectoral teams” combining programme, community services and senior management to undertake the assessment, analysis and commitment for action rather than “focal points” on gender, women or children; timing the assessments with Country operations planning; budget planning; ensuring feedback and analysis with the community.

I A s c g e n D e r h A n D b o o k CHECklIST To ASSESS EFForTS To EnSurE EquAl PArTICIPATIon The checklist below is derived from the activities section in this chapter and provides a useful tool to remind sector actors of key issues to ensure gender equality programming. In addition, project staff should develop context-specific indicators to measure progress in gender equality programming. Refer to the sample indicators in the Basics Chapter. checklIst to Assess eFForts to ensure equAl pArtIcIpAtIon 1. Women and men of all ages affected by humanitarian emergencies receive information on the programme and are given the opportunity to comment during all stages of the programme cycle. 2. Balanced representation by women and men in all groups is achieved. 3. programmes are based on the willing cooperation of the affected population. 4. special fora exist for the participation of women and youth. 5. programme objectives reflect the needs, concerns and values of all segments of the population affected by humanitarian emergencies. 6. assessment results are communicated to all concerned organizations and individuals. 7. mechanisms are established to allow all segments of the affected population to provide input and feedback on the programme. 8. age- and sex-specific outreach is established for individuals who are marginalized, for example the homebound, disabled or others who may have problems accessing services. 9. programming is designed to maximize the use of local skills and capacities, including the skills and capacities of women and youth. 10. Gender-sensitive programmes are designed to build on local capacity and do not undermine women’s, girls’, boys’ and men’s own coping or other strategies. 11. programmes support, build on and/or complement gender responsiveness of existing services and local institutional structures. 12. local and national governmental organizations are consulted in the longer-term design of gender-sensitive programmes. 13. trainings and workshops are undertaken with the inclusion of representatives from the community and local groups and networks such as youth groups, women’s organizations and other collectives. rESourCES 1.
