GAM OVERVIEWAugust 2018
Slide2Why was the GAM developed?
Responding to humanitarians & donors who wanted to know,
that programming is relevant, responding to an analysis;
that affected people are actively engaged in and influencing humanitarian processes - more than just passive recipients of aid;
that programming is at a minimum gender- and age-sensitive (ideally responsive and transformative);
new ways of working to address humanitarian “silos”, both as contexts change (the “nexus,”) and across sectors
Slide3What did the old IASC Gender Marker look for?
Coherent Programming
Slide4What does good gender equality programming look like?
Brainstorm:
When you go to the field to visit a project, what do you SEE that tells you
it is a good
programme
?

Slide11Slide12Slide13Slide14If your priority is..
Accountability to Affected Populations
You will want to monitor,
Which gender and age groups participate in and influence decisions, from needs assessment, project design, assistance delivery, through project monitoring (GEM G)
Existence & responsiveness of feedback and complaints mechanisms (GEM H)
Project and agency transparency and information-sharing with different groups (GEM I)
Slide15If your priority is…
Protection Mainstreaming
You will want to track whether,
Intended target groups are reached (GEM C)
GBV risks are reduced or mitigated (GEM E)
A safe &
responsive
complaints mechanism exists (H) Different people benefit from the tailored activities (J)
Different groups are satisfied with the assistance (K)Steps are taken to mitigate unintended consequences or barriers (GEM L).
Slide16More than a gender marker for monitoring,
the GAM enables reporting on
Whether programming is relevant, responding to a needs-based analysis (
WHS and Grand Bargain commitments)
How affected people are actively engaged in and influencing humanitarian processes
(accountability to affected populations)
New ways of working to address siloed approaches to humanitarian response, both temporal (“nexus”) and sectoral.Progress towards the WHS commitment to ‘Leave No-one Behind (women and girls, LGBTI, youth, older people)
Contribution to prevention of gender-based violence (Call to Action on GBV, Protection Mainstreaming).
