Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Bangladesh GENDER TRAINING STATUS OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS October 2006 Capacity Building for Gender Mainstreaming Project Ministry of Women and Children Affairs www.cbgmp.org Preface The Capacity Building for Gender Mainstreaming Project (CBGMP) is implemented by the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MWCA), Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and supported by UNDP. The project promoted gender-responsive governance through two main components - engendering major civil service training courses and assisting MWCA to formulate a programme approach to gender mainstreaming in Bangladesh. Aspiring to develop gender-responsive governance through gender-sensitive training to government officials across the sectors at different levels, the project collaboratively worked with the four national apex training institutions as partners, they were, Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BPATC), Bangladesh Civil Service Administration Academy (BCSAA), Academy for Planning and Development (APD) and National Academy for Educational Administration (NAEM). It was envisaged that by the end of the project, the partner institutions would be equipped with adequate capacity to provide gender-sensitive training for relevant government officials in ministries and ancillary organizations that would transform their knowledge into gender-sensitive policy making and project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The gender training was expected not only to provide information but, importantly, to sensitise participants on gender issues. In collaboration with the four partner agencies - BPATC, BCSAA, APD and NAEM, the project accomplished the following in gender training: · Review, update and incorporate a gender perspective in the curricula of existing courses; · Develop a comprehensive common GAD training manual which can serve as a reference manual for trainers in various fields; · Provide training of trainers (ToT) to organise and develop capacity of a core team of trainers selected from the training institutions; · Support the core team to provide training to other trainers in their respective institutions; and · Ensure institutionalisation of gender issues in the training programmes of the partner institutions. During the project period a total of 2780 (Female 665, male 2115) Bangladesh Civil Services Cadres and other GoB Officials participated in different categories of trainings and workshops. The categories included: · ToT on Gender (10-days course; 5 batches; total: 122, female: 49, male: 73) · GAD Training (3/5-days course; 12 batches; total: 271, female: 129, male: 142) · Trial run (4-days course; 3 batches; total: 71, female: 32, male: 39) · Gender Sensitization Training o Courses at NAEM (14 batches; total: 1102, female: 227, male: 875) o Courses at BCSAA (6 batches; total: 273, female: 57, male: 216) o Courses at APD (8 batches; total: 196, female: 56, male: 140) o Courses at BPATC (11 batches; total: 745, female: 115, male: 630) This report includes an inventory/record of all GoB officials who participated different trainings/workshops during the project period. Mr. Md. Abul Kalam Azad, Gender Training Officer, CBGM project compiled the publication with contribution from Ms. Khurshid Anwar, Director, BCSAA, Ms. Gita Paul, Director -Training, APD, Mr. Shaheed Ullah Bhuiyan, Deputy Director (F & A), NAEM and Ms. Jesmin Ara, Deputy Director, BPATC. We believe, in many ways this booklet on Gender Training Status of Government Officials will help us in mainstreaming gender in the future project/program of the country. 2 Acronyms ACAD Advanced Course on Administration and Development APD Academy for Planning and Development BCSAA Bangladesh Civil Service Administration Academy BIDS Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies BLA Bangladesh Law and Administration BPATC Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre CBGM Capacity Building for Gender Mainstreaming CRW Curriculum Review Workshop DAE Department of Agricultural Extension DPE Department of Primary Education DPP Development Project Proposal DWA Department of Women Affairs EAM Education, Administration and Management FTC Foundation Training Course GAD Gender and Development GoB Government of Bangladesh GTC Gender Training Consultant GTO Gender Training Officer GTNA Gender Training Needs Assessment IMED Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Division (MoP) JMS Jatiya Mohila Sangstha MIS Management Information System MoEd Ministry of Education MoEst Ministry of Establishment MoF Ministry of Finance MoHFW Ministry of Health and Family Welfare MoP Ministry of Planning MoPME Ministry of Primary and Mass Education MWCA Ministry of Women and Children Affairs NAEM National Academy for Education Management PC Planning Commission RPATC Regional Public Administration Training Centre SSC Senior Staff Course TNA Training Needs Analysis TOT Training of Trainers UNDP United Nations Development Programme WIDFP WID Focal Point 3 Table of Contents Participants as per the Training /Workshop Page # ToT Batch-1 at BPATC 9 ToT Batch-2 at APD 10 ToT Batch-3 at NAEM 11 ToT Batch-4 at BCSAA 12 ToT Batch-5 at BPATC 13 GAD Training at NAEM: Batch-1 14 Batch-2 15 Batch-3 16 GAD Training at RPATC: Batch-1 17 Batch-2 18 Batch-3 19 GAD Training at APD: Batch-1 20 Batch-2 & 3 21-22 GAD Training at BCSAA: Batch-1 23 Batch-2 24 Batch-3 25 Workshop at NAEM 72nd FTC 26-29 73rd FTC 30-34 74th FTC 35-36 75th FTC 37-40 76th FTC 41-43 77th FTC 44-47 78th FTC 48-50 79th FTC 51-54 80th FTC 55-57 81st FTC 58-61 82nd FTC 62-64 GAD Training for EAM Course participants at NAEM 65 GAD Training for EAM Course participants at NAEM 66-68 Strategic Planning Workshop for GoB Officials at NAEM 69 GAD Training at BCSAA 51st Law and Administration Course 70-71 52nd Law and Administration Course 72-73 53rd Law and Administration Course 74-75 54th BLA course 76-78 55th BLA Course 79-80 GAD Training for the “DAM Management” Course at BCSAA 81 Curriculum review workshop on GAD with Diploma Course 82-83 GAD Training and Curriculum Revision at APD 84 Training Course on GAD for GoB Officials at APD 85 Workshop on Curriculum Revision on Globalization at APD 86 GAD Training at APD: Senior GoB Officials 87 FTC of BCS (Health) Cadre 88-89 Senior GoB Officials 90 Curriculum Review and Revision of 19th Courses at APD 91 4 Participants as per the Training /Workshop Page # GAD Training at BPATC 41st SSC 92 42nd SSC 93 43rd SSC 94 44th SSC 95 47th ACAD 96 51st ACAD 97 52nd ACAD 98 53rd ACAD 99 Thematic Discussion on Course Curricula of SSC, ACAD and 100 FTC at BPATC GAD Training with the participants at BPATC: 33rd FTC on GTNA & GAD 101-108 34th FTC on GTNA & GAD 109-117 Batch-1 at APD 118 Batch-2 at NAEM 119 Batch-3 at BCSAA 120 5 Status of Training/Workshop At a Glance Sl.
