Strategic Programme Management for CDM

Gender-Responsive Recovery

This course builds the capacity of disaster management practitioners and partners to integrate gender equality, women’s empowerment, and social inclusion into Caribbean recovery planning and implementation. Participants include disaster managers, NGOs/CSOs, private sector actors, at-risk groups, and gender and finance professionals. Through five modules and ten lessons, learners will explore why gender matters in disaster recovery, identify gender and social risks, and develop inclusive, bias-free recovery strategies. Using case studies, storytelling, and interactive learning, the course promotes collaboration across sectors and strengthens understanding of vulnerable groups, with checklists and assessments reinforcing knowledge throughout.
