[Gender] Training on Making Governance Gender Responsive (MGGR) on June 24-30, 2007 at Manila, Philippines

[Paula Zuñiga]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Greetings from the Center for Asia Pacific Women in Politics (CAPWIP)
Institute for Gender, Governance & Leadership! 

We are pleased to invite you to a training on "Making Governance Gender
Responsive (MGGR)", which will be held on June 24-30, 2007 in Manila,
Philippines. 

The course is designed for parliamentarians, middle and senior level
government executives and officials, women and men in local governments,
political parties, research and training institutes and civil society
organizations and non-government organizations who are leading or
participating in governance reform initiatives in their respective
countries.

The objectives of the training are the following: 

-	Enhance their understanding of Gender and Development (GAD) and
governance concepts;
-	Gain appreciation of gender-related and governance issues and
concerns;
-	Identify gender biases in governance;
-	Acquire skills in identifying and analyzing gender biases and
concerns through case examples of strategies and practices to address gender
biases;
-	Identify gender biases in the participant's sphere of influence-A
Change Management Approach; and
-	Formulate Action Plans: Institutional and Individual 

The course is composed of modules developed to enhance the participants'
understanding of the link between gender and governance as well as increase
their awareness of gender biases in governance.



This is the seventh (7th) time that we are offering this course in the last
three (3) years.  The six (6) batches of MGGR trainings were successfully
held last February, June, October of 2004 and January, October 2005 and
February 2007 at the CAPWIP Institute for Gender, Governance and Leadership
(CIGGL) located at Hostelling (HI) Manila, 4227-4229 Tomas Claudio Street,
Baclaran, Paranaque City, Philippines. These trainings were attended by
participants from different countries in Asia, Pacific, Africa and Europe.
In all the six (6) trainings that we have conducted, the participants have
continually rated the training highly and useful for their organizations.

This training course has been revised and redesigned based on the feedback
from previous trainings. The course has been expanded to a six-day course
(originally designed for 3 days) and the course is now heavy on case studies
and field trips. The training is offered and designed for a small group of
about 25 to 35 participants.

The registration fee for the six-day training is US$1,600 for single room
accommodations and US$1,350 for twin room sharing accommodations (two
persons in one room). We are sending you the detailed information sheet and
registration form as an attachment to this email.  The training will be held
on June 24-30, 2007. However, the participants will be requested to be in
Manila the day before, June 23, 2007 and leave Manila only on July 1, 2007.
These extended stay are already included in the fee.

We hope that your organization can send participants to this training. Let
us join hands in promoting gender responsive governance through
transformative leadership and citizenship. We are looking forward to your
participation.

Very truly yours,
