Welcome to Introduction to the INEE Guidance Note on Gender

This course is primarily designed to help education practitioners understand the content and structure of the INEE Guidance Note on Gender: Gender Equality in and through Education. The course enables practitioners to use the key messages from the Guidance Note to inform education in emergencies programming and create advocacy messages on gender and education. 
This self-guided orientation is intended for contexts where an in-person or remote orientation is not feasible; or where an individual has an interest in familiarizing with the INEE Guidance Note on Gender in an interactive way, and can be used as an introductory, pre-orientation activity for a more in-depth training.
