 Why the HGDG?
HGDG endeavored to help implementing agencies in:

1. Complying with RA 7192 (Women in development

and Nation Building Act)

2. Integrating GAD perspective in development planning

processes

3. Addressing the issues of inadequate sex-

disaggregated data and statistics for planning
 Objectives
HGDG aims to:
• Provide NEDA, ODA donors, Philippine government
agencies and development practitioners with a set of
tools for integrating gender concerns into their
programs and projects; and

• Help achieve gender equality and empower women in/

through the programs and projects
 Principles of HGDG
⮚ Equality between women and men is a key to women’s human rights

⮚ Participation in development is crucial to the empowerment of women

and men

⮚ Gender equality means promoting the equal participation of women as

agents of economic, social and political change

⮚ Achieving equality between women and men may involve the

introduction of specific measures designed to eliminate prevailing
gender inequalities
