This 5-day participatory, virtual course is for gender specialists who would like to develop their training skills. The course will involve both theoretical and practical work. Theoretical topics to be covered include feminist participatory methodologies, quality standards in gender training, and the role of gender training in broader change processes. There will be plenty of opportunities for participants to put the learnings into practice by delivering sessions and activities for their peers. The course will also address key challenges involved in gender training, and how these can be addressed. Following the course, participants should be confident to deliver gender training in their organizations or independently. This training builds on previous Training of Trainers programs, including the one featured in the European Union’s Gender Equality Academy project.

All participants will receive a participants’ manual with key terms, resources, and templates.

“As a long-time member of SID-US, Tetra Tech greatly benefits from the convening power of SID-US’s events and workgroups, which continue to propel the development community forward in working collaboratively to identify and scale solutions to solve some of the most complex challenges around the world today.”

“CRS has been connected to key USG officials, such as the Inspector General of USAID and Mission Directors, thanks to SID-US’s events.

Bobby Jefferson, Global Head, Diversity, Equity, Engagement, and Inclusion, DAI

"SID-US is a unique and enriching venue because it bridges so many of the divisions that too often separate us: small and large organizations, entry-level and senior staff, government and private sector, for-profit and nonprofit. As development practitioners, we all benefit from coming together under the SID umbrella."

Chris Watson, Business Development Manager, Premise Data

"SID-US has a really diverse membership base. As a result, they're able to support events that vary in terms of both their functional focus and the career level of the audience. This means there is always something going on that interests me and adds value to my career."

Tessie San Martin, CEO, FHI 360

"SID-US is the only entity in Washington that regularly brings together the full spectrum of the international development community: from INGOs, to international development companies, other corporates active in our space, embassies, the USG and other bilateral donor countries. The result are SID-US events that produce particularly rich discourse - unparalleled in other forums. SID-US is essential to our community."
