Gender Mainstreaming in Practice: A Practical Toolkit for Organizations, Companies and Funders

Our new toolkit provides a practical framework for integrating gender considerations into the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs, services, and innovative solutions. It is intended for organizations, companies, and funders seeking to better understand the needs of underrepresented groups and translate that understanding into more professional, safe, and effective practice. The toolkit combines a mapping of practices across our community, global trends and examples, and practical guidance on gender analysis, participatory design, monitoring and evaluation, innovation, funding, and work in complex environments. It also includes ready-to-use tools such as self-assessment checklists, a simplified gender analysis template, methods for the meaningful engagement of women and girls, and examples of output and outcome indicators.

The toolkit was developed and written by Mindset-PCS. It was created through a special SID-Israel grant in memory of Vivian Silver z”l, a leader, peacebuilder, and central figure in the international development community, whose work was grounded in deep listening, partnership, and a strong belief in the ability of women and communities to lead change.

Humanitarian strategy in Israel's war with Hamas

The document discusses the importance of creating an Israeli strategy for planning the humanitarian response in Gaza as a distinct Israeli interest, both for maintaining Israel's security and for creating international legitimacy and maintaining a moral compass. The document presents the principles of humanitarian aid broadly and in the context of the current crisis in Gaza, reviews the activities of the State of Israel and the other interested parties operating in the field, and recommends a policy management mechanism and an operative performance mechanism in the humanitarian field that will enable a long-term response.
