Discussion on the HGDG Design and PIMME Checklist
Project
Learning Objectives
The session primary aims to increase the knowledge and skills of the
participants on the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines
(HGDG)
Specifically, at the end of the session the participants are able to:

• Articulate the objectives, features, principles and application of

HGDG;
• Apply the tool in project identification, design, implementation and
monitoring and evaluation; and
• Analyze gender issues in the whole project development cycle and
assess

The use of specific sector checklists ensures that
the project or program:

Is consistent with the sector thrusts and its implementation

is within the mandate of the proponent or implementing
agency;

includes gender analysis and ascertains gender impacts

of the proposed project or program;

specifies relevant gender equality and women’s

empowerment objectives, outcomes and outputs;

National GAD Resource Program

The use of specific sector checklists ensures that
the project or program:

Includes activities and strategies that would address gender issues or

needs;

commits human and financial resources; and

has a gender-sensitive monitoring and evaluation system that

specifies GAD-related indicators and targets; collection of sex-

What is HGDG?

Tool used to ensure that programs and projects

undertaken by the government in their various
stages are gender responsive.
National GAD Resource Program

Objectives of the HGDG

To provide a common set of analytical concepts

and tools for integrating gender concerns into
development programs and projects

To help achieve Gender Equality and Women

 Who formulated the HGDG?

HGDG was developed by NEDA, NCRFW (now PCW) , ODA-

GAD Network with funding assistance from UNDP and ADB to
set the standard in determining the gender responsiveness of
all government programs and projects from design to monitoring
and evaluation.
National GAD Resource Program

Principles of HGDG
Equality between women and men is a key women’s rights;

Participation in development is crucial to the empowerment of

women and men

Gender equality means promoting the equal participation of

women as agents change;

Achieving equality between women and men may involve the

introduction of specific measure designed to eliminate gender
inequalities and inequities
