Guidance note: Integrating gender equality and human rights in SCF2 events

The document outlines an integrated approach for SCF2 events that combines a human rights-based approach—divided into substantive and procedural rights—with intersectional gender analysis. It provides guiding questions for event proposals, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation to ensure that marginalized groups are included and that power dynamics are addressed to avoid reinforcing existing inequalities.

• The document proposes a conceptual framework that mainstreams intersectional gender analysis into a human rights-based approach. This approach categorizes human rights into 'substantive rights', which relate to the 'substance and dignity of human beings', and 'procedural rights', which encompass 'Transparency, accountability, participation and access to justice'.
• To redress context-specific constraints, the guidance emphasizes a gender analysis of four specific components: the division of labour, access and control over resources, participation in decision-making, and the norms, rules, and dominant discourses that cause inequality.
• The guidance warns that climate action and development projects that ignore human rights and gender equality risk strengthening existing social disparities, noting that marginalized groups are more vulnerable to environmental degradation and often excluded from decision-making.
• The monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for SCF2 events requires data disaggregation by target groups, including gender (men/women/non-binaries), age, disability, and urban/rural status. Evaluation is conducted at two levels: the program level managed by SEI Asia and the event level managed by the grantees using pre- and post-event surveys to establish baseline and end-line data.
