Institutionalize
GAD database and
generate sex-
disaggregated data
are data that are collected and
analysed separately on males and
females. For example: this typically
involves asking the “who” questions in
an agricultural household survey: who
provides labor, who makes the
decisions, who owns and controls the
land and other resources. Or it may
involve asking men and women about
their individual roles and responsibilities
Sex-disaggregated data
To provide a complete
understanding on the
situation (e.g. agricultural
production, rural livelihood)
in order to develop better
policies and programs
Sex-disaggregated data
In identifying GAD PPAs, priority is given to emerging and/or
continuing issues and concerns on:

Column 9: Responsible Unit

Organization-focused gender issue
gap/s in the capacity of the agency and personnel to integrate a
gender perspective in its programs, systems, or strucuture
Example include: lack of knowledge and skills of the
management and/or employees on GAD; sexual harassment
(VAW, GBV) and multiple burden of women employee;
limited/lack of/low women’s participation in decision making
processes within the organization; organizational practices that
are discriminatory to women and; issues surfaced by the results
of GMEF assessment/GFAST/HGDH.
A client-focused gender issue
refers to concerns arising from the unequal status of
women and men stakeholders of the Org/Agency
including the extent of their disparity over benefits
from and contribution to a policy/program and/or
project.
This arises from not taking into account women's
special needs during the formulation of the
Org/Agency's policies, planning and implementation
of its program, projects and services, putting
women in a disadvantaged position.

COSTING AND ALLOCATION OF THE GAD BUDGET
ATTRIBUTING the cost
C
or a portion of the cost of
implementing major
programs to the GAD
budget
Attribution to the GAD budget of a portion or the whole of the
budget of a Ministry’s/Agency’s major programs or projects is a
means toward gradually increasing the gender responsiveness
of government programs and budgets. A Ministry/Agency may
attribute a portion or the whole budget of the year of major
programs/project during the GAD planning and budgeting phase
by subjecting the program documents to gender analysis using
the appropriate Harmonized Gender and Development
Guidelines (HGDG) design checklists.
What is GAD attribution?
Flagship or major programs of the agency/LGU should be included.
This is an indication of serious intent by the agency to address
gender equality and women’s development and empowerment in
its mainstream operations and programs.
