Gender education and training

KIT has long been an innovator in developing and conducting training on gender and development, particularly gender awareness raising, gender analysis and planning, gender mainstreaming and gender-inclusive citizenship. 

Training includes a variety of approaches from international training programmes at KIT, in-country short workshops and professional accompaniment interventions.  Also, KIT contributes to thinking and reflecting upon the state of gender training through its publications on gender training and organizing international meetings. 

The international courses and training workshops are geared towards gender advocates as well as development practitioners working at different institutional levels ranging from women’s activist organizations, NGOs and research institutions to national governments and UN agencies.

The core training team for each course consists of KIT senior gender advisors, with both practical and academic experience, trainers from leading institutions in the South and faculty invited from research and development institutions.
