II. Foreword ANY COUNTRY THAT FAILS TO ENGAGE half its population meaningfully in political life can not be considered fully democratic. Ensuring women and men, and those who are third gender or gender non conforming, have equal opportunities to participate in the civic and political life of their countries is consistent with universal human rights, democratic principles, and USAID’s goal of fostering resilient, democratic societies. Ensuring gender equality in political participation builds more transparent, accountable governments that are more likely to reflect the interests of all citizens, contributing to the greater well-being of all members of society. At the same time, elevating human rights, by definition, means that we must support efforts around the world to advance and protect the rights of men, women, boys, and girls, and those outside of the gender binary. We can not achieve the goal of USAID’s Strategy on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance—to “support the establishment and consolidation of inclusive and accountable democracies to advance freedom, dignity, and development” —without reducing gender gaps and empowering all individuals as full participants in building democratic societies. Since the adoption of the 2012 Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy, USAID has expanded its efforts and requirements for incorporating gender integration into and across program design. In addition, USAID’s LGBT Vision for Action seeks to improve the lives of LGBT citizens around the world by becoming more inclusive in our development efforts. The Vision aims to ensure that LGBT persons have access to and reap the benefits of our programming, and in so doing, are instrumental in the transformation of their own societies, with the end result that each and every citizen is recognized and equally valued. The DRG Center strongly supports the implementation of quality gender analysis in the work of the DRG Center and our DRG Offices in the field to identify areas of opportunity to better advance gender equality and female empowerment. The goal of this toolkit is to provide a practical, straightforward, and user-friendly guide to DRG officers as a means to better integrate gender equality and female empowerment in project conceptualization and design. The toolkit contains key questions to guide gender analysis in program design across specific DRG sub-sectors, illustrative activities to overcome barriers to the full and equal participation of men, women, and intersex/ gender non-conforming/third gender persons in democratic governance, and illustrative examples from USAID and external programs successfully integrating gender. We look forward to working with our colleagues in the field and Washington, DC to use this toolkit and ensure that the results we achieve in our democracy, human rights, and governance work have an equally meaningful impact on men, women, boys, and girls; and also achieve better results in advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment within the DRG sector.
