Phase 2: Agree your Strategic Framework Form focus groups to draft your Framework Develop vision and purpose statement Decide strategic gender priorities Develop long-term outcomes and indicators Decide high-level actions 2 AGREE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK Draft the Framework (Strategy on a Page) Validate and finalise Framework Socialise Framework with internal and external stakeholders A Strategic Framework creates a structure from which you can build a practical and doable gender strategy. The purpose of Phase 2 is to agree the high-level foundation for your gender strategy following broad consultation and input. We call this the Strategic Framework. It may also be referred to as a ‘Plan on a Page’, ‘Blueprint’ or ‘Roadmap’. The Framework identifies the strategy’s vision, purpose and priorities, and links them to long-term outcomes, actions and indicators of success. This section includes eight steps to guide the development of your Strategic Framework, followed by a checklist and an example from the fictitious Human Rights Commission of Assuwa. Your NHRI may use additional tools or activities during this phase. As this Toolkit continues to develop, we welcome examples of approaches used across the region. Example The Gender and Development Agenda of the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines includes the identification of key gender issue/s, identification of the GAD Outcome/Result statement, indicators, baseline, the responsible unit or officer; and the programs, activities and projects proposed for each year.
