Donor Approaches to Gender Integration: What are some “indicators”?  What proportion of a donor’s assistance budget is earmarked for gender programming?  Does the donor have specific offices and/or staff dedicated to gender programming?  Does the donor have a gender policy?  How is women’s empowerment and gender mainstreaming addressed in a donor’s funding solicitations? What has been TAF’s experience with particular donors in addressing gender in proposals?
