Workshop de Capacitação | Online

Organized by:
Mohammad Abu Audeh
About the Event
This session presents key findings and methodological lessons from the Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) – Gaza Brief, offering a focused look at how the ongoing crisis has reshaped gender roles, vulnerabilities, and capacities across the Gaza Strip. Drawing on field based monitoring, sectoral data, and gender sensitive analytical tools, the event demonstrates how rapid, crisis responsive gender analysis can guide more equitable and conflict sensitive humanitarian programming.
Participants will gain insights into how gendered vulnerabilities differ across humanitarian sectors—including WASH, health, food security, shelter, education, cash assistance, and protection—and how these differences can be captured and addressed through effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems. The session will also highlight demographic shifts such as the rising number of female headed households, escalating protection risks, and widening access barriers for women and girls.
Through practical examples from Gaza, the event will showcase M&E techniques for inaccessible or high risk environments, including remote data collection, triangulation of UN and sectoral datasets, and tools for generating reliable evidence under severe constraints. The speakers will provide actionable guidance on integrating gender evidence into program design, indicators, adaptive planning, and MEAL frameworks.
Featuring a moderated panel and interactive Q&A, this event offers participants a strong understanding of how gender sensitive evidence can strengthen humanitarian decision making and improve outcomes for crisis affected communities.

Resumo
The session on “Rapid Gender Analysis – Gaza Brief” highlighted the importance of gender-sensitive and evidence-based approaches in humanitarian response. Discussions showed that crises affect women, men, girls, and boys differently, requiring inclusive and adaptive interventions informed by timely data. The session emphasized that Rapid Gender Analysis is a practical tool for improving targeting, accountability, protection, and program effectiveness. Participants stressed the need to integrate gender analysis into all stages of humanitarian action and confirmed that credible, regularly updated evidence is essential for addressing inequalities, mitigating risks, and improving outcomes for affected populations.
• Encourage humanitarian actors and M&E teams to integrate RGA findings into program design, targeting, and monitoring.
• Strengthen the use of disaggregated and participatory data collection approaches.
• Promote regular updates of gender analysis to reflect changing realities and emerging risks in Gaza.
• Enhance coordination among protection, gender, and sectoral teams for integrated responses.
• Continue capacity-building and knowledge-sharing on gender-sensitive monitoring and adaptive programming.
• Encourage participants to apply lessons learned within their organizations to support evidence-driven humanitarian decision-making.
