Cameroon Ministry of Finance: Gender Mainstreaming
Our Role
In 2011, STRATEGIES! partnered with UN Women to examine and advance the
Ministry’s gender mainstreaming capacity. STRATEGIES! facilitated a Ministry-wide
workshop regarding 3 government studies that analyzed the Ministry’s gender
mainstreaming capacity during planning, budgeting, and implementation of its
programs and policies.
Impact
Through the workshop, Ministry officials were able to identify critical and realistic
step necessary to improve their gender mainstreaming capacity. As a result, the
Cameroon Ministry of Finance substantially improved their gender sensitivity and
gender mainstreaming procedures during program and policy development,
implementation and evaluation.
