Book 1
Book 2 is the core of the guidebook. It describes the gender mainstreaming evaluation framework. It identifies the stages of gender mainstreaming and major entry points. A step-by-step guide illustrates how each agency may track and assess the progress and status of its gender mainstreaming initiatives using the GMEF tool.
Book 3 relates actual experiences of selected agencies as they address the challenge of gender mainstreaming. It presents issues that were encountered, and how these agencies were able to manage them. It also shows how the agencies were able to adopt the GMEF onto their own organizational systems, and facilitated mainstreaming in the process.
