Capacity Building Workshops on Gender Equality in Media (Mongolia)

Gender inequality remains a significant challenge in the media industry. This project aims to improve the representation of women in media by promoting policies and ethical codes that support gender equality. The workshops will utilize UNESCO’s Gender-Sensitive Indicators for Media (GSIM) as a framework.

Project Objectives

• Enhance the capacity of regulatory and legislative bodies, and relevant authorities to develop and implement policies promoting gender equality in media.
• Raise awareness of UNESCO’s GSIM framework and its application for fostering gender-sensitive media practices.
• Encourage the development of ethical codes that promote gender equality in media content creation and production.

Scope of Work

• The selected organization will be responsible for the following:
  • Workshop Development: Develop the content and curriculum for two separate workshops, with one targeted at the decision-making level within regulatory and legislative bodies.
  • Delivery: Conduct both workshops for a total of 5 regulatory and legislative bodies and relevant authorities. Each workshop should have approximately 20 participants.
  • Materials: Develop and provide all workshop materials, including pre-reading materials, presentations, and participant handouts. All materials should be delivered in a format accessible to participants.
