10. Internally - work/life, equal opps,
equal pay, GBV at work, budgeting GE
etc.
Externally - policies, programmes and
projects (procedures, processes,
indicators, tools, skills, budgeting GE
etc.)
Institutional
change towards
gender equality
TRAINING AS AN ACTIVATOR OF DYNAMIC CHANGE
Gender training seeks GE for individual workers -> impacts on
collective dynamics (home and work)
Gender training seeks collective dynamics to reach GE for
« beneficiaries »
-> impacts staff as workers

11. AN INSTITUTION IS NOT THE SUM OF INDIVIDUAL(ITIE)S
INSTITUTION ACTING AS ONE INDIVIDUAL ENTITY

14. Understanding Change through
Training for Gender Equality
Speaker: Maram Barqawi, Monitoring and Evaluation Expert
Webinar: UN Women Training Centre
Wednesday, 3 May 2017

15. Training for gender equality
Training is a tool, strategy, and means
to effect individual and collective
transformation towards gender
equality by raising awareness and
encouraging learning, knowledge-
building and skills development. It
helps women and men to understand
the role gender plays and to acquire
the knowledge and skills necessary for
advancing gender equality in their
daily lives and work.

16. If you deliver training, then you probably know how important it is to measure
its effectiveness. After all, you don't want to spend time or money on training
that doesn't provide a good return
The four levels are:
Kirkpatrick's Four-Level
Training Evaluation Model

17. Level 1: Reaction
This level measures how your trainees (the people being trained), reacted to the
training. Obviously, you want them to feel that the training was a valuable experience,
and you want them to feel good about the instructor, the topic, the material, its
presentation, and the venue.
Level 2: Learning
At level 2, you measure what your trainees have learned. How much has their
knowledge increased as a result of the training?
Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Training Evaluation Model

18. Level 3: Behavior
At this level, you evaluate how far your trainees have changed their behavior, based on
the training they received. Specifically, this looks at how trainees apply the
information.
Level 4: Results
At this level, you analyze the final results of your training. This includes outcomes that
you or your organization have determined to be good for business, good for the
employees, or good for the bottom line.
Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Training Evaluation Model

19. • Individual level
• Training has increased the skills and confidence of participants, increased participation and
representation of women in the public sphere and formal politics
• The training advanced the capacity of participants to integrate gender into their work, as
well as strengthening their advocacy skills in gender equality
• household dynamics level:
• Men increasing their share of domestic and care work
• Organizational level:
• Training generated ‘change agents’, causing a multiplier effect which helped to
institutionalise knowledge from the training
• Increased the capacity of partner organisations to conduct gender analysis
• Training can contribute to increased budgetary allocations for gender mainstreaming and/or
to meet women’s needs and demands
Measurable evidences that training for gender equality
can lead to tangible change:

20. Examples:
• The number or percentage of participants who, after completing the training, demonstrate
greater awareness of gender equality issues and their Importance
• The percentage of participants who, after finalising the training, report the ability to critically
reflect on gender norms and connect these to broader power structures
• The percentage of participants who, after finalizing the training (e.g. six months-1 year later)
show evidence of positive changes in their attitudes, behaviours and practices with respect to
gender equality;
Indicators: Indicators are criteria or measures against
which changes can be assessed (Imp‐Act 2005).
