19. www.unmillenniumproject.org19 A Checklist For Integrating Gender Does the PRS have clear targets for Goal 3? Do the programs for each sector have clear interventions and coverage targets to reach women? Are there specific programs not covered by other sectors in the PRS? Do the gender programs have annual budgets in line with the needs? Is there a strategy for strengthening capacity to implement gender interventions and policies at scale?
