This guide provides assistance to development professionals to integrate the gender transformative approach (GTA) in project interventions that focus on food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture, in view of advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment. It provides step-by-step detailed guidance for project and programme staff on how to integrate the GTA at every phase of the project cycle. It also provides examples of practical tools and methodologies that can help build agency for women and men, and transform unequal power relations and discriminatory social institutions (e.g. gender norms, policies, legislation). In Part 1, this guide provides an overview of the GTA, explaining the key dimensions and spheres of influence for gender transformative change and describing key considerations in gender transformative programming. Part 2 provides step-by-step guidance on how to integrate the GTA throughout the project cycle: identification, formulation, implementation and monitoring, evaluation and closure. The guide has been prepared within the framework of the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security and Nutrition (JP GTA).
