Design, structuring and implementation of a training cycle on gender equality and parity, diversity and inclusion with actors linked to the Thermal Districts project in Colombia – Phase II
Client: ONUDI – United Nations Industrial Development Organization
Mission:
Insuco developed a diagnosis of the gender equity situation in a sample of 10 companies in the energy sub-sector with companies related to the Thermal Districts project in Colombia, using the WEP (Women Empowerment Principles) tool, owned by the United Nations and the Inter-American Development Bank.
The results of the diagnosis served as a basis for the formulation of a training cycle entitled “Leadership in gender equity from a transversal and intersectional perspective in the thermal district sector”. The aim was to raise awareness and acquire both conceptual elements and practical tools for the implementation of actions in favor of gender equality, diversity and inclusion.
Finally, the training cycle was implemented, which achieved the following objectives:
- To raise awareness of the concepts and differences of gender identities, orientations, sexualities and inequalities from an intersectional perspective.
- Reflect on the role of new masculinities in organizational change and managing unconscious bias for gender equality in everyday life and in the organizational and business sphere.
- Discuss the impact of gender-based violence and discrimination in the workplace.
- Understand the barriers women face in masculinized work environments.
- Learn about the results of the Thermal Neighborhoods 2022 project’s gender diagnostic.
- To share good practices at the organizational level on the implementation of a gender action plan from an intersectional approach.
- To collectively build transformative ideas in terms of equity, equality and parity in the Thermal Districts project.
Results:
To comply with the objectives, Insuco implemented the following activities:
- Definition of companies participating in the business diagnostic;
- Development of a webinar to guide companies on the use of the WEP tool (United Nations);
- Elaboration of the business diagnosis of the Thermal Districts project in Colombia;
- Methodological design of the training cycle (content, learning tools and evaluation);
- Call for participants to the training cycle;
- Implementation of the training cycle ;
