Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals are essential to apply gender mainstreaming tools and frameworks to real-world scenarios. Learners will conduct gender analyses, design gender-responsive project components, and present their work for feedback. These hands-on sessions ensure that theoretical knowledge is translated into practical skills.

Practical Activities

• Gender Analysis Exercise — Learners use the Harvard Analytical Framework to analyse a case study project, identifying gender roles, access, and control patterns. (5h)
• Gender-Sensitive Logframe Development — Working in groups, learners develop a logical framework for a sample project, incorporating gender-sensitive indicators and assumptions. (6h)
• Gender Budgeting Simulation — Learners allocate a mock budget to a project, applying gender budgeting principles to ensure resources address gender gaps. (4h)
• Stakeholder Engagement Role-Play — Learners simulate a community consultation, practicing inclusive facilitation and addressing resistance to gender mainstreaming. (3h)
• Final Project Presentation — Groups present a gender mainstreaming plan for a real or simulated project, receiving peer and facilitator feedback. (3h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
