Welcome to Module 1. In this Module, the following topics will be covered via Lessons 1& 2:
1. Definitions of key terms
2. Gender in the Caribbean context
3. Gender in the context of disasters
4. Gender, Disasters and climate change
Lesson One covers (a) Definitions of key terms and (b) Gender in the Caribbean context
After completing this lesson, participants should be able to:
a. accurately define gender and other key terms
b. describe at least 3 gender needs
Consider your own knowledge of gender and if and how you apply it in your work. Take notes of 2-3 ways in which gender is relevant or not relevant and we will come back to this later.
Lesson Two is a deeper dive into Gender and Disasters and explores what we know broadly about the gender differentiated impacts of disasters in the Caribbean. Lesson Two covers (a) Gender in the context of disasters and (b) the Disaster-climate Nexus.
At the end of this lesson, participants will be able:
1. Define 3 ways in which gender shapes vulnerability to disasters in the Caribbean including the role of the climate, and
2. Identify gaps and constraints to gender mainstreaming in disaster management and recovery
In preparation, participants are asked to review the image on gender across multiple levels and to have this as a reference as they go through the material in Lesson 1. Please download the image and keep it close by.
This Module focuses mostly on concept mapping in response to key findings from stakeholder engagement, particularly on capacity gaps, that made clear that across all governments there are gaps in identifying and therefore addressing differentiated access to key drivers of empowerment such as ownership, legal rights and access to spaces of engagement for all vulnerable. Accordingly, issues of gender, inequality of risk and intersectionality were prioritized.

Welcome to Module 2. Module 2 focuses on Vulnerability and Vulnerable Groups building on the knowledge shared and generated in Module 1.
In this module, we seek to help you:
• deepen your understanding of how marginalization influences disaster vulnerability,
• explore the unique vulnerability that forms from the intersection of multiple marginalized identities,
• understand how to identify and address the strategic and practical gender needs of vulnerable groups in a disaster preparedness and recovery context, and
• gain knowledge on practices to support a more gender responsive approach to disaster recovery.
Lesson One of Module 2 explores:
1. Key terms
2. Key vulnerable groups (ITPs, PWDs and LGTBQIA+) and the role of gender in their experiences of disaster and recovery
Lesson Two of Module Two dives deeper into
Gender as Root cause and drivers of vulnerability in the Caribbean
Hyper-marginalization and how it affects the visibility and equitable treatment of some forms of vulnerability and vulnerable groups.
Remember disasters come in multiple forms in the Caribbean including volanic eruption.

- Differentiate between types of social and gender risks arising in the context of disaster recovery, and
- Develop skills and strategies to address them proactively and sustainably.
By the end of this Module, you should able to Use a gender and social risk management lens to better understand and respond to long-term vulnerability and the needs of marginalized groups
Lesson 1 covers:
GBV and SEAH in the context of Disasters and Disaster Recovery
Labour and working conditions/Community Safety Risks

Welcome to Module 4 of the Gender in Recovery Course for the Caribbean. At this point, you are more than halfway through the course and have completed the more conceptual components of the course. Congratulations. This Module begins to explore solutions to gender responsive recovery leveraging, where possible, Caribbean and local solutions, good practice and lessons learned.
By the end of the Module, you will be able to:
- Integrate gender considerations in recovery planning including using available best practice.
- Efficiently and effectively map out pathways from response to recovery and from recovery to resilience minimizing bias and discrimination.
The Module learning approach relies on Lectures, Project-based/intervention learning, Brainstorming (will require participant to plan some engagement with at least 1-2 other persons in the course) and Problem-solving.
This Module contains 2 Lessons:
Lesson 1: Addressing Strategic Gender Needs
Lesson 2: Addressing Practical Gender Needs
Lessons One of Module Four focuses on Addressing Strategic Gender Needs. In this Lesson, we will explore the following:
Definition of terms
Leveraging Existing Policies and Frameworks (Strategic)
Collaboration Across Sectors and enhancing Social Sector input to address Differential access and control over resources (Strategic)
Content will include:
- Checklist Review
- Scenarios to apply and test understanding and approaches learned
- Model answers to show the who, how and why and linkage between the gender needs, problems and solutions
Lesson Two of Module Four explores Practical Gender Needs, specifically focussing on:
Stakeholder Mapping (Practical)
Data Collection and Assessment Approaches and Tools (Differential perception and assessment of recovery needs) – Practical
Content for this Lesson relies on the following learning techniques:
- Checklist Review
-Scenarios to apply and test understanding and approaches learned
- Model answers to show the who, how and why and linkage between the gender needs, problems and solutions.

Our last Module, Module 5, has 2 Lessons.
In this Module we get deep into filling operational gaps.
There are 2 Lessons and several topics to be reviewed with a heavy emphasis on good practice, tools and the sharing of knowledge.
Lesson 1 focuses on:
Stakeholder Engagement and Partnerships for Effective Recovery (Operational)
Addressing Representative participation including by marginalized and hyper-marginalized groups (Operational)
Lesson 2 focusses on:
Gender Responsive Budgeting (Resource)
The role of checklists and guidelines to respond to:
- Differences in impacts of changing context and reality of disaster risk
- Differing dependencies on ecosystem services (Operational and Resource)
