Gender and Health Framework
Clearinghouse Connector – February 2009
This edition of the Clearinghouse Connector provides electronic links to resources that demonstrate the use of a gender and health framework.
A gendered policy framework takes account of and is responsive to gender during policy development. A gender and health framework can be applied at the macro and micro level to any policy or program that is being developed or implemented.
There are three elements to a gender and health framework. They are:
- Gendered data
- Gender impact assessment and
- Gender awareness raising
