Animal health emergencies: a gender-based analysis for planning and policy.

There has been increasing recognition of gender-based inequity as a barrier to successful policy implementation. This consensus, coupled with an increasing frequency of emergencies in human and animal populations, including infectious disease events, has prompted policy makers to re-evaluate gender-sensitivity in emergency management planning. Seeking to identify key publications relating to gendered impacts and considerations across diverse stakeholders in different types of animal health emergencies, we conducted a non-exhaustive, targeted scoping review. We developed a matrix for both academic and policy literature that separated animal health emergencies into two major categories: humanitarian crises and infectious disease events. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with key animal health experts. We found minimal evidence of explicit gender responsive planning in animal health emergencies, whether humanitarian or infectious disease events. This was particularly salient in Global North literature and policy planning documents. Although there are some references to gender in policy documents pertaining to endemic outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in Uganda, most research remains gender blind. Despite this, implicit gendered themes emerged from the literature review and interviews as being direct or indirect considerations of some research, policy, and implementation efforts: representation; gendered exposure risks; economic impact; and unpaid care. Absent from both the literature and our conversations with experts were considerations of mental health, gender-based violence, and intersectional impacts. To remedy the gaps in gender-based considerations, we argue that the intentional inclusion of a gender transformative lens in animal health emergency planning is essential. This can be done in the following ways: (1) collection of disaggregated data (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.); (2) inclusion of gender experts; and (3) inclusion of primary gendered impacts (minimal representation of women in policy positions, gender roles, economic and nutrition impacts) and secondary gendered impacts (gender-based violence, mental health, additional unpaid care responsibilities) in future planning.

METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF ASSESSING THE GENDER IMPACT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TERRITORIAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the main aspects that form a methodological approach to assessing the gender impact of the action and implementation of the Territorial Community Development Strategy. Design/methodology/approach. Semantic analysis, comparative analysis and the systematisation method were used to form a system of gender-sensitive indicators; the grouping method and structural and logical modelling were used to develop a rationale for the sequence of gender impact assessment. The abstract and logical method was used to formulate conclusions and theoretically summarise the results of the study. Findings. The main task of conducting a gender impact assessment of a community development strategy is to determine whether certain programmes or development processes have contributed to or hindered the implementation of gender equality principles in the community. Based on the analysis of scientific and methodological sources, the article presents the gender impact assessment as a set of mutually agreed stages. At the first stage, the goals, principles and target groups of gender-sensitive groups are established. A gender analysis is conducted to identify existing gender roles and the challenges and obstacles to equal participation that they pose for gender-sensitive groups. The development of a gender-responsive methodology includes the creation of a system of methods, rules, principles and approaches aimed at assessing gender equality and determining the impact of a particular community development strategy on gender aspects. In order to assess gender impact, the article develops a system of gender-sensitive indicators. Presentation of the results, conclusions and recommendations in the gender impact assessment of the action or implementation of the community development strategy is the final stage. At this stage, a detailedpresentation of the information obtained is made, and the main conclusions are formulated regarding the identified gender inequalities and the specifics of the impact of the programme document on gender-sensitive groups. The results of the assessment and recommendations can be made public to the public and other stakeholders, and public discussions and hearings can be organised, as well as consultations with residents of the local community to ensure broad participation and involvement of different groups. The developed conclusions and recommendations are usually documented in the form of a report. The proposed methodological approach to gender impact assessment was tested on the data and information contained in the Development Strategy of Velyky Bychkivska settlement territorial community for the period up to 2027. The Velyky Bychkiv territorial community is located in the Rakhiv district of the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine. Practical implications. The practical implications encompass the development of a more effective methodological approach for assessing gender impact within the context of territorial community development strategies. This contribution holds significance for local self-government bodies, governmental entities, activist groups, and other stakeholders involved in the process. Implementing the proposed methodological approach has the potential to enhance the overall management of territorial development, ensuring a more efficient consideration of gender aspects in decision-making processes. Moreover, it can contribute to heightened gender sensitivity among participants involved in the decision-making process, fostering a more inclusive and equitable approach to strategic community development. Originality/value. The originality and value of the article lie in its innovative methodological approach to evaluating the gender impact of implementing the Territorial Community Development Strategy. The article introduces a comprehensive framework that not only identifies and analyzes gender-specific factors at various stages but also offers practical recommendations for addressing gender inequalities within the context of community development. This contribution adds unique insights to the existing literature by providing a nuanced and context-specific methodology tailored to the intricacies of territorial community development. The article's value extends to practitioners, policymakers, and researchers engaged in gender-responsive planning, offering a practical tool to enhance the effectiveness and inclusivity of strategic development initiatives

Pergulatan Advokasi Kebijakan Pengarusutamaan Gender di Kota Pekanbaru

Gender inequality has not become a priority issue in Pekanbaru City. The percentage of gender mainstreaming that is included in the work programs and activities of regional apparatus organizations is only around 48%. BPS data shows an increasing trend of the Gender Development Index in 2021, namely 93.27 from 93.01 in 2020. But the Gender Empowerment Index in Pekanbaru City has actually decreased in 2021, namely 68.63 percent from 69.23 in 2020. Gender mainstreaming has become a strategy to reduce gender inequality for nearly ten years. However, this advocacy has not been able to integrate gender mainstreaming in every regional policy in Pekanbaru City. For this reason, this research will find advocacy struggles that occur by mapping the power and interests of stakeholders. This research is qualitative research by conducting interviews with 5 informants from related agencies and collecting secondary data. Then various data and information were analyzed using advocacy theory and Power-Interest Stakeholders according to Ackermann and Eden (2011). The results of the study show that the power and interests of stakeholders in implementing gender mainstreaming in Pekanbaru City are still low. This is evidenced by the fact that only a few DPOs have integrated gender equality into gender-responsive planning and budgeting.

Analisis Kompetensi Aparatur dalam Perencanaan dan Penganggaran yang Responsif Gender di Sumatera Utara

Gender mainstreaming in development is required with the issuance of various regulations. The implementation is carried out through Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting (GRPB). This research aims to find out the competence of HR planners in implementing gender responsive planning and budgeting in North Sumatra regional development programs/activities. This research used qualitative, and the data used are primary data and secondary data. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and limited interviews with employees and head of department in the Regional Government Organization (RGO) of North Sumatra Province. Secondary data is obtained from relevant documents and references. The data were analyzed descriptively to obtain actual conditions/problems which were then used as the basis for the preparation of the GRPB Consulting Clinic design in order to increase the competence of human resource planners and improving the implementation of gender mainstreaming in the development of the North Sumatra region. From this case, it was found that the realization of GRPB in North Sumatra regional development programs/activities was still low and did not reach the target. This is due to the lack of commitment from the RGO leadership and the Regional GRPB Secretariat and the low competence (knowledge and skills/ability) of HR Planning in RGO regarding the GAP (Gender Analysis Pathway) and GBS (Gender Budget Statement) techniques as GRPB analysis tools. To advance the competence of the planning human resources, it is necessary to operate a GRPB Consulting Clinic which can be contacted every day, with the following tasks/activities: providing consultation on GRPB, namely knowledge and skills regarding Gender Analysis Pathway (GAP) and Gender Budget Statement (GBS) techniques, as well as increasing the quantity and the quality of filling out GAP and GBS forms for development programs/activities.

The City of Banda Aceh's planning and budgeting in regional work units: Are they gender responsive?

Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting (PPRG) is an instrument to overcome the gap in access, participation, control and benefits between women and men in the implementation of development to realize a more equitable budget. The implementation of the PPRG policy in every Banda Aceh City Apparatus Work Unit (SKPK) is still lacking in scope so that development from a gender perspective cannot be realized properly. This study aims to examine how the process and mechanism of PPRG and to find out the inhibiting factors in the Banda Aceh SKPK based on the Banda Aceh Mayor Regulations No. 18 of 2018 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of PPRG for SKPKs. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to examine primary data obtained by interview and observation techniques and secondary data by literature. The results show that the process of implementing the PPRG in the Banda Aceh SKPK only began with the issuance of policies as the legal regulation for implementation, provision of disaggregated data and technical guidelines. Then the stage of socialization and assistance in the preparation of the PPRG which produces examples of GAP and GBS where these two things are tools for integrating gender in planning documents. The inhibiting factors are the limitations of human resources and budget, there is no strong pressure in leadership, employee transfers to changes in nomenclature.

Urban Informality, Post-Disaster Management, and Challenges to Gender-Responsive Planning in Haiti Since the 2010 Earthquake

Haitian officials, in line with most country leaders around the world, announced a series of health, hygiene and safety precautions following the COVID-19 global pandemic early in 2020. The tiny nation (10,714 square miles) situated on the island of Hispaniola, still recovering from the devastating 2010 earthquake, which claimed the lives of close to two hundred thousand people, seemed prepared to take on the challenges of COVID-19. Businesses and schools immediately closed, face masks and hand sanitizers were distributed by the thousands. But the effects of emergency injunctions that were not geared towards capacity-building, but rather prevention of rapid infectious disease transmission, could prove debilitating for the impoverished nation over the long-term. Primary and secondary school enrollment rates in Haiti are at an all-time low, and projections for the Haitian economy are dismal (-3.5% GDP growth 2020f) (World Bank 2020: 27). As a retrospective study, this paper conducts a critical quantitative and qualitative analysis of humanitarian aid, gender-based violence, and urbanism in Haiti, revealing that gender-responsive planning has a greater role to play in state-led disaster management plans and procedures for achieving long-term equity and sustainable economic growth.

Women Authorship of Scholarly Publications in STEMM: Authorship Puzzle

The continued underrepresentation of women in scholarly activities slows down the scientific progress of any country. Several studies have analyzed the women representation in authorship of scholarly publications in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM). Women account only 30% of overall authorship of scholarly articles. Prestigious authorships like first-, last- and corresponding authors also show significant underrepresentation of women. Women as first authors are significantly increasing since last decades; however, growth of last authors is not significant and share of corresponding authors not changed. Women show low overall impact of scholarly publications due to lower productivity but not for quality of publication. This gender authorship puzzle can be solved by adopting gender responsive planning and management. Therefore, systematic efforts to understand the gender disparities in scholarly publications, authorship citations and collaborations require for achieving significant positive change in the share of women in academic authorship, impact and career. The field is new, active, attractive and interesting area of research to achieve gender equality in scientific research and publications for social welfare.

Analisis Program Perencanaan Penganggaran Responsif Gender (Studi di Dinas Pemberdayaan Perempuan, Perlindungan Anak, Pengendalian Penduduk dan Keluarga Berencana Kota Batu Jawa Timur)

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting (PPRG) in Batu City. Analytical techniques use qualitative methods with a focus on general budgets, which incorporate gender assumptions and distribute budget allocations that take account of their gender impact. Data obtained through in-depth interviews with purposive sampling on staff and employees who know and engage in budgeting. Furthermore, to study strategic policy document of Batu City, that is; RPJMD documents, RKPD documents and APBD documents by 2016. The results of research on gender responsive planning and budgeting process in the Regional Government Work Units (SKPD) have not been fully implemented due to the fact that the Regional Regulation (Perda) has not yet been established as the basis of Gender Equality Gender (PUG) . There is no PUG Working Group at city and Focal Point level in SKPD. Budgeting also does not use gender analysis in the form of Gender Analysis Pathway (GAP) and Gender Budget Statement (GBS). In fact, these instruments become formal evidence of the existence of gender responsive planning and budgeting in Batu City Local Government. DOI : https://doi.org/10.26905/pjiap.v3i1.2275

Indonesia’s Experience: Implementing Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting

This paper is a historical review of Indonesia’s experience in implementing Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting (GRPB). National Development Planning Agency/ Bappenas has initiated the implementation of gender mainstreaming in Indonesia’s national development planning policies since 1999. It was started in 1998 by developing the Gender Analysis Pathway, the tool for conducting gender analysis in development planning. The tool focuses on the gender gap analysis in four aspects: access, participation, control, and benefit of development, between men and women, and the special needs groups. In 2008, Bappenas initiated the GRPB Steering Committee and Technical Teams, which included Ministry of Finance in the board of GRPB’s Steering Committee, together with Bappenas and Ministry of Women Empowerment. The team also included Ministry of Home Affairs; Education; and Health, and formally established by Minister of NationalDevelopment Planning’s decree in 2009. In 2012, Bappenas developed The Gender Equity & Equality Index and Gender Mainstreaming Institutionalization Indicators to measure the progress of Gender Equality in Development. This was followed by the Circular Letter: “National Strategy to Accelerate Gender Mainstreaming through Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting”, which was signed by four ministers. The National Strategy is developed to ensure that GRPB implementation both at the national and regional level is aligned, systemized, on target and also supporting the practice of good governance, sustainable development, as well as the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In 2014, GRPB had been implemented in 36 line ministries and 34 provinces
