Proposing Gender: Workshop by Michele Bornstein (CARE)

The workshop offers the opportunity to translate lessons learned on gender-sensitive programming, into developing a humanitarian project proposal. Participants will learn about funding trends for gender programming in emergencies. They will then move through the proposal development process, obtaining the tools to design and draft gender-sensitive and responsive concept notes and project proposals.
