Following the conduct of a gender audit, gender analysis, and/or review of sex-disaggregated data, each agency or LGU shall develop its GAD plans, programs, and budget in response to the gender gaps or issues faced by their women and men employees, as well as their clients and constituencies. Dr. Caro B. Salces, DA-PCC’s OIC-Executive Director, challenged the GFPS members to gear up for a higher gender mainstreaming performance level in the year to come. The DA-PCC annually conducts GAD-related activities for its employees, such as gender mainstreaming assessments and training advocacy on gender sensitivity.
