Information on the inclusion of gender issues into all aspects, into all policies and
capacity building issues
A. The Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy (SCADD)
311. Adopted in 2010, the SCADD is a reference framework for all types of development
interventions, including the promotion of gender at all levels. It recommends that cross-cutting
issues such as gender should be a constant feature at all levels of dialogue, policies and during all
the processes of formulating policies and sector programmes (Axes 1 and 4). These guides will
be developed to facilitate the implementation of the strategic orientation.

B. National Gender Policy (PNG)

made at both the regional and international level. It focuses specifically on Strategic Axis 4 “the
promotion, institutionalisation of gender through its integration into planning, budgeting and
policy implementation systems at all levels”. To achieve this objective, the MPFG commissioned
a diagnostic study in 2012 on gender-related inequalities in the ministries and institutions
followed by the development of sector-based action plans for the inclusion of gender in public
policies. The PNG is based on the compelling need for a constant fight for equality and equity
among the sexes in strict respect of the fundamental rights of the individual. This will was
reaffirmed through the constitutionalisation of gender during the review of the Constitution by
Law No. 33-2012/AN of 11 June 2012.

the area of planning such as Directors of Research, Planning and Budgeting in order to
strengthen their capacity for gender promotion.
