The Philippine Army (PA) on Tuesday started its four-day
training on gender sensitivity planning and budgeting with harmonized gender
and development guidelines at the Days Hotel and Resort in Tagaytay City
The training is in line with the Army’s continuing effort of
strengthening its gender and development (GAD) initiatives, Army spokesperson
Col. Benjamin Hao said Wednesday.
Main participants of the training are the 45 new members of
the Gender and Development Focal Point System (GADFPS) of the units and offices
based in the Army headquarters here, to include the regular GAD committee of
the PA.
The training will provide the participants knowledge on the
basic concept of gender analysis and necessary skills to conduct gender
planning.
Hao said the PA established on Aug. 31, 2011 the GADFPS, an
advisory and policy-making body, and a two-tiered structure composed of the
Executive Committee and a Technical Working Group tasked to oversee, catalyze
and facilitate the institutionalization and implementation of GAD programs,
activities and projects of the organization.
The PA spokesperson said their key office in-charge of all
GAD-related activities is the Office of the Army Gender and Development
(OAGAD).
The said office has initiated relevant undertakings to make
the Army gender responsive in compliance with the government’s program on
gender and development.
