Capacity building and technical support

Awareness and skills are necessary for sustainable gender- and health-equitable health programmes and policies.  Health sector actors must be able to identify, and work to alleviate, health inequities. The WHO gender mainstreaming for health managers: a practical approach training manual focuses on the ways in which gender norms, roles and relations affect health outcomes, and on appropriate health sector responses.

Gender is a cross-cutting social determinant that should be considered alongside other sources of health inequity, such as poverty, age, ethnicity and socioeconomic development. WHO gender training for health managers provides practical information and tools to address multiple social determinants of health.

WHO gender training has been conducted for ministry of health managers and representatives from public health institutes in Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Islamic Republic of Iran, occupied Palestinian territories, Oman, Pakistan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
