The Kitakyushu Forum on Asian Women(KFAW) annually holds the Seminar on Gender Mainstreaming Policies for Government Officers under an agreement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA Kyushu International Center). The Seminar is designed to foster such officers’ abilities to develop and implement effective and comprehensive policies to mainstream gender-based perspectives in addressing various problems in developing countries. It also aims to ultimately realize a gender-equal society in respective countries.
This fiscal year the seminar was held twice because there were many people who wanted to participate for one seminar. Two seminars had fourteen trainees from eleven countries. Every seminar had a “Country Reports Presentation” for the general public. Ms. Reiko Ogawa, Associate Professor at Kyushu University, acted as chairperson and coordinated the presentation. All trainees of the seminar made presentation about profiles of their own countries, gender problems and obstacles that should be overcome in order to achieve gender mainstreaming in their respective countries as well as their own action plans.
The first seminar was held from June 25 to July 24, 2009, with a total of eight participants from six countries.Eight trainees of the seminar made presentations at KFAW’s Country Report Meeting in July 17, 2009.
