Gender Intentional Recruitment and Selection for Professional Development Programs
In creating professional development opportunities, such as training or continuing education, it is valuable to make sure that the professional benefits afforded by these programs do not disproportionately favor men. Equity is important here because many sectors of international development are either male-dominated (e.g. Financial Services, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) or have gender gaps in leadership, with fewer women rising into higher-level positions.
