SOFTHEARTED EMOTIONAL DOCILE AND QUIET WHILE MEN ARE EXPECTED TO BE TOUGH HARD WORKING RATIONALIST
ETC 4HE WORD @GENDER WAS USED BY !NN /AKLEY AND OTHERS IN THE S TO EMPHASIZE THAT EVERYTHING
WOMEN AND MEN DO AND EVERYTHING EXPECTED OF THEM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THEIR SEXUALLY DISTINCT
FUNCTIONS CHILDBEARING ETC CAN CHANGE AND DOES CHANGE OVER TIME AND ACCORDING TO CHANGING AND
VARIED SOCIAL ECONOMICAL POLITICAL AND CULTURAL FACTORS 4HIS CHANGE CAN BE REVEALED FROM A
COMPARISON OF THE ROLES OF MEN AND WOMEN IN %UROPE AND "ANGLADESH 4HOUGH WOMEN OF BOTH %UROPE
AND "ANGLADESH BELONG TO THE SAME SEX THERE IS A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE IN THEIR ROLE WORK AND CONDUCT )N
%UROPE A WOMAN CAN EASILY WEAR A DRESS OR CHOOSE AN OCCUPATION LIKE A MAN BUT IN "ANGLADESH IN MOST
CASES IT IS HARDLY POSSIBLE FOR A WOMAN TO DO THAT DUE TO SOCIAL BARRIERS (OWEVER THESE SOCIO CULTURAL
CHARACTERISTICS CONDUCTS AND ROLES OF MEN AND WOMEN KEEP CHANGING WITH THE CHANGE OF A SOCIETY
! FEW DECADES BACK THE ONLY PROFESSIONS ACCESSIBLE TO "ANGLADESHI WOMEN WERE RELATED TO THEIR
TRADITIONAL ROLES OF CARING FOR THE YOUNG TEACHING AND THE SICK NURSING .OWADAYS WOMEN
ARE WORKING IN NON TRADITIONAL PROFESSIONS SUCH AS ENGINEERING THE POLICE SERVICE DEFENSE ETC
4HIS EXAMPLE INDICATES THAT THE ROLES ASSIGNED TO WOMEN AND CONSEQUENTLY SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE
PROFESSIONS FOR WOMEN HAVE CHANGED OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES

7HEN WE SAY @GIRL IT INDICATES A DEFINITE SEX BUT WHEN WE SAY @GIRLY OR @FEMININE IT INDICATES
GENDER SOMETHING MORE THAN SEX WHICH IS NOT PHYSICAL BUT PERTAINS TO NORMS OR CONDUCTS )T IS
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT GENDER IS NOT THE RESULT OF SEX 4HERE IS NOTHING IN THE PHYSICAL
CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN WHICH CAN CONFINE THEM IN HOME FOR DOMESTIC WORK AND MAKES THEM UNFIT
FOR OUTSIDE WORK SIMILARLY THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MEN DO NOT PREVENT THEM FROM PERFORMING
DOMESTIC CHORES 'ENDER IS A PRODUCT OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PERCEPTIONS OF MASCULINE AND FEMININE
TRAITS CHARACTERISTICS AND NORMS
7HY UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENCE IN SEX AND GENDER IS IMPORTANT
3INCE THE MID S THERE HAS BEEN A GROWING CONSENSUS THAT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REQUIRES AN
UNDERSTANDING OF BOTH WOMENS AND MENS ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR
RELATIONS TO EACH OTHER 4HIS HAS COME TO BE KNOWN AS THE 'ENDER AND $EVELOPMENT '!$ APPROACH
'!$ ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS HAVE A GENDER IMPACT AND DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY
BENEFIT MEN AND WOMEN EQUALLY 4HUS IT IS NECESSARY TO ADOPT A '!$ APPROACH FOR DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMMES TO BENEFIT BOTH MEN AND WOMEN FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND POSITIVE IMPACTS ON THE
SOCIETY AS WHOLE (OWEVER IN SOCIETIES WHERE THERE IS AN IMBALANCE AND UNEQUAL STATUS OF WOMEN DUE
TO UNEVEN OPPORTUNITIES AND PERSONAL FREEDOM COMPARED TO MEN THERE IS A NEED TO FOCUS ON ADDRESSING
WOMENS NEEDS

'ENDER ROLE IS A TERM USED IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES TO DENOTE A SET OF BEHAVIORAL NORMS
THAT ACCOMPANY A GIVEN GENDERED IN A GIVEN SOCIAL GROUP OR SYSTEM
%VERY KNOWN HUMAN SOCIETY PRESENTS INDIVIDUALS WITH A SET OF STATUSES BY WHICH MEMBERS OF THE
SOCIETY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AND ONE ANOTHER 3UCH STATUSES MAY BE ASSIGNED TO AN INDIVIDUAL
AUTOMATICALLY BASED ON THE STATUS OF HIS OR HER PARENTS OR BASED ON SOME PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC
INCLUDING ONES THAT EMERGE THROUGH THE AGING PROCESS SUCH STATUSES ARE CALLED ASCRIBED /THER
STATUSES MAY BE ACHIEVED BASED ON THE ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL 3CIENTISTS USED
TO BELIEVE THAT GENDER WAS UNIVERSALLY ASCRIBED 'ENDER ROLE INVOLVES SOCIALLY PROSCRIBED AND
PRESCRIBED BEHAVIORS WHICH MAY TAKE THE FORM OF RULES OR VALUES 3UCH RULES AND VALUES DO NOT
DETERMINE OR CONTROL AN INDIVIDUALgS BEHAVIORS ABSOLUTELY 5SUALLY THEY DEFINE BOUNDARIES OF
ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR WITHIN WHICH THERE IS ALWAYS VARIATION AND ROOM FOR INDIVIDUAL CREATIVITY -OST
RESEARCHERS RECOGNIZE THAT THE CONCRETE BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF BOTH SOCIALLY
ENFORCED RULES AND VALUES AND INDIVIDUAL DISPOSITION WHETHER GENETIC UNCONSCIOUS OR CONSCIOUS

ORIENTATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

ARISES FROM SOCIALLY FORMED ATTITUDES OR BELIEFS ABOUT WHAT A WOMAN OR A MAN HAS THE CAPACITY AND THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO DO &OR INSTANCE PAID WORK DONE OUTSIDE THE HOME AND IN THE PUBLIC ARENA IS USUALLY
ATTRIBUTED TO MEN BECAUSE SOCIETY ASSIGNS THEM THE ROLE OF PRIMARY BREADWINNER FOR THE FAMILY /N THE
OTHER HAND UNPAID DOMESTIC WORK DONE WITHIN THE PRIVATE DOMAIN OF THE HOME IS ASSIGNED PRIMARILY
TO WOMEN -ENS PRODUCTIVE WORK IS CONSIDERED MORE IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS AND
ADVANTAGES IT GIVES TO THOSE ENGAGED IN IT AND DUE TO THE SOCIAL RECOGNITION GIVEN TO IT /N THE OTHER
3ESSION )
HAND WOMENS DOMESTIC WORK IS MOSTLY UNRECOGNIZED UNDERVALUED AND EITHER NOT PAID OR POORLY PAID
4HIS LACK OF SOCIAL RECOGNITION CONTRIBUTES TO WOMENS SUBORDINATE POSITION IN SOCIETY IN RELATION TO
MEN
4RADITIONALLY "ANGLADESHI WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO CARRY OUT ALL HOUSEHOLD WORK INCLUDING CHILD
REARING AND TAKING CARE OF THE FAMILY ELDERS 4HOUGH IT IS TIME CONSUMING THIS WORK IS NOT
PERCEIVED AS @REAL WORK AND IS UNPAID /N THE OTHER HAND "ANGLADESHI MEN ARE USUALLY
EXPECTED TO WORK IN PAID EMPLOYMENT OUTSIDE THE HOME 4HIS LEADS TO A HIGHER VALUE BEING
ACCORDED TO MENS ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION AND BY EXTENSION TO MEN THEMSELVES
"OTH MEN WOMEN HAVE MULTIPLE WORK ROLES 4HERE ARE THREE 4YPES OF 'ENDER 2OLES
I 0RODUCTIVE 2OLE
II 2EPRODUCTIVE 2OLE
III 3OCIAL#OMMUNITY 2OLE
0RODUCTIVE 2OLE 4HE ROLE PLAYED BY INCOME EARNING ACTIVITIES OR BY ACTIVITIES HAVING EXCHANGE VALUE
IS KNOWN AS PRODUCTIVE ROLE EG PRODUCTION OF GOODS AND SERVICES FOR CONSUMPTION AND TRADE FARMING
FISHING EMPLOYMENT SELF EMPLOYMENT 4HE EXCHANGE VALUE MAY BE IN FORM OF CASH OR KIND
'ENERALLY MEN ARE ENGAGED IN PRODUCTIVE ROLE BUT WOMEN CAN ALSO BE INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION
ACTIVITIES (OWEVER THEIR FUNCTION AND RESPONSIBILITIES WILL DIFFER ACCORDING TO THE GENDER DIVISION OF
LABOUR -ANY PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN ARE OVERSHADOWED BY THEIR REPRODUCTIVE ROLES &OR
EXAMPLE RURAL WOMEN PERFORM MANY AGRO PROCESSING ACTIVITIES BUT AS THESE ARE DONE ALONG WITH
HOUSEHOLD WORKS THESE ARE NOT REGARDED AS PRODUCTIVE AS THERE IS NO EXCHANGE VALUE FOR THESE
ACTIVITIES 4HEREFORE WOMEN PRODUCTIVE ROLE IS OFTEN LESS VISIBLE AND LESS VALUED THAN MEN
2EPRODUCTIVE 2OLE 2EPRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES INVOLVES THE CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND
ITS MEMBERS INCLUDING BEARING AND CARING FOR CHILDREN FOOD PREPARATION WATER AND FUEL COLLECTION
SHOPPING HOUSEKEEPING AND FAMILY HEALTH CARE !LSO REPRODUCTIVE ROLE EXTENDS TO REARING AND CARING
OF THREE GENERATIONS THE PAST GRAND PARENTS PARENTS AND PARENTS IN LAW THE PRESENT SPOUSE BROTHERS
AND SISTERS BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN LAW AND THE FUTURE LABOR FORCE THE CHILDREN AND THE GRAND CHILDREN
2EPRODUCTIVE WORK IS CRUCIAL TO HUMAN SURVIVAL YET IT IS SELDOM CONSIDERED @REAL WORK AS THESE
ACTIVITIES DO NOT GENERATE ANY INCOME OR HAS NO EXCHANGE VALUE AND AS SUCH IT IS NOT COUNTED IN
ECONOMIC TERMS AND OFTEN UNRECOGNIZED 7OMEN PLAY THESE ROLES ALL OVER THE WORLD AND IN POOR
COMMUNITIES REPRODUCTIVE WORK IS FOR THE MOST PART MANUAL LABOUR INTENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING
(OWEVER IF THE SAME ROLES ARE PLAYED IN EXCHANGE OF MONEY IT WILL BE REGARDED AS A PRODUCTIVE ROLE
!NOTHER REPRODUCTIVE ROLE IS DECISION MAKING REGARDING CONTRACEPTION AND REPRODUCTION WHICH ARE IN
THE HANDS OF WOMEN MEN BUT IN MANY CULTURES MEN PLAY A SIGNIFICANT AND RECOGNIZED ROLE IN THIS
REGARD $EPENDING ON THE CULTURAL CONTEXT MEN ALSO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CHILD REARING
3OCIAL#OMMUNITY 2OLE #OLLECTIVE ROLE PLAYED SELFLESSLY AT COMMUNITY LEVEL EG ORGANIZING SOCIAL
EVENTS AND SERVICES CEREMONIES AND CELEBRATIONS PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES

GREATER BENEFIT OF THE SOCIETY OR COMMUNITY 4HIS TYPE OF WORK IS SELDOM CONSIDERED IN ECONOMIC
ANALYSES OF COMMUNITIES BECAUSE IT HAS NO EXCHANGE VALUE OR FINANCIAL REWARDS )T INVOLVES
CONSIDERABLE VOLUNTEER TIME AND IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SPIRITUAL AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITIES
AND AS A VEHICLE FOR THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION AND SELF DETERMINATION "OTH WOMEN AND MEN ENGAGE
IN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES ALTHOUGH A GENDER DIVISION OF LABOUR ALSO PREVAILS HERE 4HESE ROLES ARE MAINLY
OF TWO TYPES
3ESSION )
#OMMUNITY -ANAGING 2OLE IS UNDERTAKING OF ACTIVITIES WITHOUT PAY OR REMUNERATION AT A
COMMUNITY LEVEL IN A GIVEN AREA FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL &OR EXAMPLE A FEW OR ALL PERSONS IN A VILLAGE CAN
REPAIR ROADS AND OLD BRIDGES CONSTRUCT EMBANKMENTS ORGANIZE MARRIAGE CEREMONIES OR DEATH
ANNIVERSARIES "OTH MEN AND WOMEN CAN PLAY THESE ROLES
#OMMUNITY 0OLITICS 2OLE !NY DECISION MAKING ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT PAY OR REMUNERATION FOR
THE BENEFIT OF COMMUNITY IN A GIVEN LOCALITY IS CALLED COMMUNITY POLITICS ROLE FOR EXAMPLE
PARTICIPATION IN 50 ELECTION ACTING AS A JUDGE IN THE SETTLEMENT OF A DISPUTE TAKING PART IN THE DECISION
WHERE A SCHOOL OR A TUBE WELL WILL BE LOCATED AND INSTALLED ETC

SOME SPECIAL TRAINING WHICH SHE CAN USE TO EARN SOME MONEY THIS WILL DEFINITELY IMPROVE HER
JOB PERFORMANCE AND STANDARD OF LIVING 3O NEEDS RELATING TO ENHANCEMENT OF FACILITIES FOR IMPROVING
STANDARDS OF LIVING ARE CALLED PRACTICAL GENDER NEEDS -EETING PRACTICAL GENDER NEEDS LEADS TO AN

Introduction
The Technical Project Proforma/Proposal (TPP) and Development Project Proforma/ Proposal (DPP)
are the instruments through which the National Strategy for Accelerated Poverty Reduction (NSAPR
II) and international commitments like Millennium Development Goals (MDG), Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and Beijing Platform for Action
(PFA) are implemented. In order to obtain resources for implementation of their projects/programs,
Ministries under the Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) are required to indicate how these
will have impact on poverty and women’s advancement and rights in their responses to the Budget
Circular (BC-1) issued by the Ministry of Finance. This task will be much easier for the Ministries if the
initial design of projects indicates clearly the expected impact on poverty and women’s advancement
and rights. With this end in view, these guidelines for designing gender-responsive projects and
programs have been prepared to assist the officials who design the government projects/programs.
The guidelines suggest where and how women’s advancement and rights should be included in the
different sections of the TPP and DPP.

The Guidelines include two annexes. Annex A is on NSAPR II Gender Equality Goals and Priority
Actions and Annex B is on MTBF Standards as per guidelines provided by the MOF for providing
response on Poverty and Gender in the section - 3 and Annex-5B of the Budget Circular-1. It is to
be mentioned here that all the issues of NSAPR II shown in Annex A and Standards for Annex B may
not be relevant for every project and program. For example, an education project will draw upon
those issues relevant to it from Annex A and Annex B mentioned in the guideline. These guidelines
are providing a method of linking the process for drawing relevant Issues and Standards of NSAPR
and MTBF in designing projects/programs.

In the overall objective statements of projects targeted to communities at large, indicate what
benefits will be gained by both women and men, and particularly by poor section of the
population.
This should be stated explicitly, especially when the situational analysis suggest that gender
gaps exist and special measures will have to be taken to overcome barriers faced by women.)

The standards to verify the impacts of strategic objectives of the Ministry on women advancement are
described below. The more the reflection of these standards through strategic objectives, stronger the
impact of that strategic objective on poverty reduction and women advancement. It needs to be
mentioned that all standards may not be applicable to all Ministries; the Ministries are therefore
requested to complete section-3 using the applicable standards only. If a medium term strategic
objective does not have a direct impact on poverty reduction and/or women’s advancement, that also
needs to be mentioned.

Guidelines to fill-in column 9 and 10 of Form 4
(Grading the Impacts on Women’s Advancement)
Columns 9 and 10 of Form 4 in part B respectively indicate impact of projects and programmes/
activities on poverty reduction and women advancement. Directorates and agencies will prepare
estimated and projected probable expenditures of all their projects/activities using form 4.
Ministries/Divisions will assign a percentage to each of their new projects/programmes indicating
what portion of the total allocation (expenditure) is expected to have direct benefit for the poor (on the
basis of twelve criteria mentioned above) and women (on the basis of fourteen criteria mentioned
before). If there is no direct benefit for poor or women please indicate zero in the relevant column. If
they are totally targeted to either poor or for women they will be assigned 100 percent in the relevant
column. Other projects and programmes need to have a percentage between 1-99 percent.
