Assessing gender in resilience programming: Myanmar
This case study is one of four commissioned by BRACED to assess the links between resilience and gender in partners’ projects. It documents approaches used to promote gender equality within the BRACED Myanmar Alliance, as well as the latent challenges and opportunities in this process.
The case study has been written by practitioners and reflect on their own gender-sensitive practices. The objective is to compare experiences with other case-studies (Burkina Faso and Uganda) with the aim to inform other organisations implementing resilience-based programmes on the lessons and promising practices to mainstream gender equality.
One of the key messages of this publication is that gender transformation is a slow and dynamic process. This requires:
- the redefinition of gender roles and identities;
- the assessment of concurrent monitoring and evaluation of changing trends;
- as well as of the manner communities respond to this process.
