As part of the Swedish International Development Agency’s International Training Programmes, the Human Rights towards Gender Equality training programme will be held in two parts: at Stockholm/Uppsala, Sweden and at another location (to be decided) from 7 March to 1 April 2011 and in October 2011 respectively.
This training programme is organised as a joint-venture of SIPU International and Uppsala University with the funding support of SIDA.
The Programme seeks to strengthen the participant organisations capacity in the field of human rights and gender eqality and get increased knowledge on how to use tools for gender mainstreaming. Strategy for change will strengthen the commitment of organizations and institutions to invest in and institutionalize gender-sensitive change. The programme contains a 4-week training course in Sweden and a follow-up seminar in Asia, Latin America or Africa. The training course includes lectures, group and individual exercises as well as study tours. An individual project work is an important part of the programme.
