1. Two tools to support mainstreaming gender into national HIV strategies and plans: UNDP and UNAIDS Susana T. Fried Senior Gender/HIV Advisor Bureau for Development Policy UNDP New York

2. What is Gender Mainstreaming? • Goes beyond adding a women’s “component” or gender equality “component” • Builds on an understanding of gender that encompasses gender, sexual orientation and gender identity as these relate to HIV in each specific context • Call for mainstreaming gender analyses and perspectives into all stages of strategies, policies, and programming. • The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality, but good mainstreaming requires good information

3. The UNDP Roadmap

4. What is the Roadmap? • A step-by-step guide to mainstreaming gender into national HIV strategies and plans • A tool for government, civil society to address multi-dimensional issues in national HIV efforts • Designed to align with other tools on gender & HIV

5. GOALS & PARTICIPATION GAPS ANALYSE HIV DATA DATA BUDGET RESULTS PARTICIPATION

7. Stage 5: Monitoring and Evaluation OUTPUT Monitoring with Supporting Data Allows for Continuous Measurement of Targets and Resource Allocation and requires good indicators Sex-disaggregated baseline information, follow up data, recommendations for gaps Sex-disaggregated Gender/HIV output, outcome and results indicators to track progress, gaps, barriers Gender-Sensitive Evaluation Provides Knowledge and Information about Effective Strategies and Limitations and Learning Going Forward Gender-sensitive evaluation framework to track outputs, outcomes and results OUTPUT OUTPUT

General tools for all stages: Ten Overarching Strategies to Advance a Gender Sensitive HIV Response Tools for Planning the Process: Model Terms of Reference: Gender Consultant Model Terms of Reference: Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee Model Terms of Reference: Gender and HIV Technical Working Group

10. Tools for Analysis, Strategy and Work Plan: UNAIDS Gender Assessment Tool Gender Mainstreaming Checklist Steps in the Formulation of the NSP Core Components for Formulating a Gender-Responsive HIV budget Components for Assessing Gender-Responsiveness of Budgets Tools for Monitoring and Evaluation: Monitoring and Evaluation Tool Monitoring and Evaluation Organization Framework

11. THE NEED FOR A GENDER ASSESSMENT TOOL? • Strategic planning processes often lack sufficient data on the epidemic, context and response from a gender perspective • Planning and budgeting processes are not gender sensitive, failing to meet the needs and rights of women in all their diversity.

12. The tool assists countries to • Improve quality of data to inform the national strategic planning process. • Position gender equality and violence in the “strategic investment” discussion • Apply a modular approach, building on already available information, to allow flexibility as per local context • Uses questions to identify remaining gaps in information.

13. ASSESSMENT TOOL OVERVIEW

14. VALUE OF THE GENDER ASSESSMENT TOOL? • Provides guidance for a more effective, systematic and standardised gender with a systematic set of stepsto examine the gender-sensitivity of the HIV response. • Supports learning the extent to which the national response acts on gender inequality as a key determinant of HIV and ensure that gender equality is a goal of the national HIV response. • Can be used in conjunction with the Roadmap to support countries to fully engage in the strategy planning, development and implementation process

15. UNAIDS and partners’ “tool-kit” • On course (planning and mainstreaming) • Assessment tool (gender audit of national HIV response) • Athena/HEARD (policy analysis tool) • What works for women and girls (compendium of evidence on what works in peer-reviewed literature) • Tools on engaging men and boys (UNFPA, Sonke) • GBV/HIV indicators (forthcoming) • GBV/HIV programming guide (forthcoming)
