In Their Own Idiom
From 2006 - 2008, Gender at Work worked with PACE (Partner in Cross Sectoral Engagement), an Oxfam Canada capacity building program in the Horn of Africa. The work was to deliver a capacity-building program for gender equality with six civil society organizations in the Ethiopia, Somaliland, and Sudan.
The GAL Program – a two-year, a multi-stage, non-prescriptive, collaborative process with these organizational partners – focused on enabling them to improve their capacity to deliver services and programs in a gender-equitable manner. This process often means focusing on the organization itself, i.e. its process and structures.
The following papers share the successes and learnings from the PACE/GAL program in the Horn of Africa.
