The Gender Inclusive Framework and Theory (GIFT) guide is an approachable and thorough tool that facilitates the integration of gender analysis into project design. Because peacebuilding work is context dependent,the GIFT puts forth three approaches to gender analysis – the Women,Peace and Security Approach; the Peaceful Masculinities Approach; and the Intersecting Identities Approach – that each illuminate the gender dynamics in a given environment to better shape peacebuilding projects.

The GIFT Will
Define gender;
Describe the relationship between gender and conflict dynamics and its importance to peacebuilding;
Explore a theory of change and an analysis framework for gender inclusion; and
Provide specific guidance on integrating gender into project design.
