In collaboration with Buckley High School, Makerere University and other partners, the IP facilitators have presented participatory tools and methods at a seminar for teachers in addition to gender sensitisation activities. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Makerere University is collaborating with the IP in engendering the curricula. A one-day meeting for users and producers of data took place in November 2000. The objective of the meeting was to initiate a dialogue among key stakeholders in data production and utilisation and to identify training needs in gender disaggregated data among stakeholders at all levels. A training workshop on gender disaggregated data was held for technical staff in April 2001 in Entebbe.
More activities related to gender disaggregated data are under development.
It also strengthens the capacity of development specialists to incorporate gender considerations into development planning. Programme are that gender roles and relations are of key importance, that priority should go to meeting the needs of disadvantaged people, and that participation of local people is essential for development. Programme is to strengthen socioeconomic and gender analysis capacities at the regional, national and local levels. An assessment of the Development Context makes it possible to begin to define and prioritise steps towards positive change. The Package is being produced in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
