Gender Toolbox

The Gender Toolbox highlights areas where we see a need for thematic method support and guidance. It is not only useful for Sida staff but also for our partners and other stakeholders.

The Gender Tool Box includes three different kinds of materials: Tools, Briefs and Thematic Overviews. The development context is constantly changing, and new priorities arise. Look out for new briefs, tools and thematic overviews as we update the Gender Tool Box.

The Tools are meant to facilitate the implementation of gender equality in concrete work:

• Gender Equality in the Education Sector
• Gender Analysis
• Gender Mainstreaming
• Gender in Humanitarian Assistance
• Gender Equality Policy Marker
• How Sida works with Gender Equality
