Breaking the Barriers Facilitator Manual
Breaking the Barriers Facilitator's Manual 2018
Together with Sonke Gender Justice, Concern has developed a facilitator manual to engage men and women in a gender transformative process and to take steps to improve our gender programming.
This manual is used at country programme level with Concern staff, and in some programmes later adapted to be used at community level by our staff. The manual is subdivided into four sections including:
- Gender transformative activities covering the themes of gender roles, power, violence, healthy relationships
- Enabling change
- Gender transformative programming
- Community mobilisation approaches
This manual will be available in French soon
