  3. Gender Insensitive NTPPR The NTPPR seeks to help poor households and communities through a comprehensive package of support. • Access to credit, basic services, agricultural extension services, land holdings and legal aid, school fee exemptions, vocational training and health insurance • However, NTPPR pays little attention to the gendered nature of poverty and vulnerability. • There are also no gender-specific targets or measurable outcomes, nor any specific provisions for gender training for programme implementers VN presentation

  6. But limited impacts VN presentation

  7. Challenges • Coordination between line ministries is hampered by programme fragmentation and implementation overlap • MOLISA, mandated with addressing gender inequalities, is under-resourced and lacks the institutional positioning to ensure gender is integrated across sectors, including social protection VN presentation

  8. Challenges (cont) • Lack of gender disaggregated data and practical training on gender mainstreaming; • Inadequate accountability mechanisms • Under-recognition by senior political leaders of potential for gender equality to contribute to developmental/ poverty reduction goals • Relatively weak civil society has rendered civic oversight largely ineffective VN presentation

  9. Policy Implications • Ensure gender differences in economic and social risks and intersection with ethnicity are adequately reflected in the design of key programme and sector documents • Ensure food security and agricultural productivity remain core objectives of poverty reduction approaches VN presentation

  10. Policy Implications (cont) • Identify a lead agency to ensure gender is adequately integrated and synergies maximised • Promote routine use of gender-disaggregated data in poverty reduction and social protection programme reporting • Ensure sufficient funding to support this process and related capacity strengthening for staff VN presentation
