Gender and Development (GAD) Program

(DTI) Gender and Development Program follows closely the Magna Carta of Women (Republic Act 9710) passed in 2009, which provides specific interventions by DTI on women’s economic empowerment.

DTI programs that focus on women’s participation and benefits in livelihood and entrepreneurial activities are: (i) mainstreaming GAD in development plans, (ii) sustaining women in business, (iii) capacitating women in entrepreneurship, and (iv) greater and better access to business finance.

With the DTI Gender and Development (GAD) Agenda, Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) is possible!

As the Department of Trade and Industry’s GAD secretariat, the RGMS has been implementing gender-related activities with DTI-bureaus and regional offices to mainstream GAD. In order to capture and report systematically the efforts being done on this aspect, DTI in 2018 launched the initiative “Pinay Leading Economic Advancement towards Development and Sustainability” or Pinay LEADS. It attempts to strengthen the collective efforts of the bureaus and offices of DTI in the delivery of services, highlighting those provided to women MSMEs to address gender concerns through the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) tool.From May to October of 2018, RGMS conducted HGDG evaluation and consultative workshops with the implementers of the eight (8) enrolled SME development programs, namely: Negosyo Center, SME Roving Academy (SMERA), Kapatid Mentor Me (KMME), Shared Service Facilities (SSF), One Town, One Product (OTOP), Industry Cluster and Enhancement (ICE), Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP), and the Regional Interactive Platform for Philippine Exporters; and with the nine (9) DTI regional offices, namely: CAR, IV-A, IV-B, V, VII, VII, IX, X and XI. In 2019, the RGMS GAD team conducted several HGDG Evaluations with regional and provincial staff and clients of DTI Regions II, XII, and CARAGA.Overall, the results from the evaluation show that the majority of DTI’s SME development programs are gender sensitive. In actuality, the programs are able to reduce inequality and increase the opportunities for women entrepreneurs to access business and financial services, markets, and become more productive and efficient for the improvement of their socioeconomic welfare. However, the assessment also showed that there is a need to improve the incorporation of GAD in the activity design, monitoring and evaluation documents; and to make reporting in the GAD Accomplishment Report and GAD Plan and Budget more systematic. In this regard, DTI is optimistic that the HGDG evaluation and the planned fulfilment of the corrective actions, will help the agency achieve its objective of implementing genderresponsive programs.
