Gender Analysis Sample Clauses

Gender Analysis. The Institute will produce a Gender Analysis and integrate it in the Institute Implementation Plan. This Gender Analysis will: collect gender-sensitive baseline data; obtain information on women’s needs and interests with respect to the Institute’s general policies and strategies, and the various Activity Centre programs; identify constraints to women’s capacity to benefit from the Institute activities; and adopt measures that will be spelled out in a Gender Equality Strategy. This Strategy will guide the implementation of various projects and initiatives, as well as identify the actions required to promote gender equality, stakeholders that should be involved, results to be achieved, human and financial resources required as well as indicators for appropriate monitoring. Coalition Members have approved existing equity policies including Employment Equity, Discrimination and Harassment and Advertising of Position Vacancies.

Gender Analysis. USAID requires that all activities USAID support fully address gender considerations, ensuring that both men and women benefit from USAID support and that gender awareness is a built-in component of project activities. On April 2017, a Gender Analysis report for USAID/Ukraine was published summarizing major observations and recommendation for main technical areas of USAID support in Ukraine. The average life expectancy in Ukraine is among the lowest in Europe and is partially correlated with a deterioration of the health care system during the transition period. The difference between female and male average life expectancies at birth is considerable- differing by ten years (66.37 years for males and 76.25 for females). Men’s shorter healthy life expectancies are closely correlated with the fact that they undertake risky behaviors but also exhibit a lack of health-seeking behavior. The prevalence of alcohol dependency is four times higher among males than females, and the consequences are serious in terms of men’s higher mortality rate from liver cirrhosis and road traffic accidents. Ukraine is currently facing the challenges of an HIV/AIDS and TB epidemic, and both epidemics have distinct gender dimensions. Nineteen percent of the total number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Eastern European and Central Asian region live in Ukraine, and Ukraine accounts for a quarter of all AIDS- related deaths in the region. As of 2016, around 224,000 people with HIV are living in Ukraine, and 50% of estimated cases are concentrated in six regions: Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kherson, Kyiv (city), Mykolayiv and Odesa. Men account for 55% of PLHIV and make up the majority of newly diagnosed cases of HIV infection as well as those living with AIDS. Incarceration has been identified as a driver for HIV transmission among people who inject drugs. Prisoners, the overwhelming majority of whom are male, who also inject drugs face an elevated risk of HIV infection due to the absence of prison-based therapy or treatment programs and the fact that former prisoners frequently adopt risky behaviors after incarceration. The proportion of women living with HIV appears to be higher among IDPs than the general population, which is consistent with the greater number of women among displaced persons. Of the 1,614 people living with HIV who came to state AIDS centers from the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions as of January 2017, 48.6% were women and 51.4% were men. HIV/tuberculosis...
