This Supporting Resources Collection (SRC) showcases existing work on gender and governance. It presents a .mix of conceptual and research papers, policy briefings, advocacy documents, case study material, and practical .tools from diverse regions and disciplines, focusing on different aspects of governance. By bringing together .multiple perspectives and approaches from diverse contexts, we hope to prompt a better understanding of the .gender dynamics in governance institutions at global, national and local levels, of what needs to change in order .to make governance more gender sensitive. A key aim of the SRC is to support greater dialogue and sharing of .good practice among people working on distinct yet related governance issues. • How can we reframe understandings, goals and practices of governance to put gender equality and the realisation of rights at its centre? • How can we analyse governance institutions and processes from a gender perspective to expose genderblind policy and discriminatory practices? • How can governments – as central and essential instruments of governance – work with and be influenced by other locations of governance such as household, community, national, or global institutions? • How can we enable greater participation of women in governance processes – from the high-level to citizenled – and find strategies to ensure they have the capacity and institutional support to make a difference? • How can we change the governance institutions themselves so that they are responsive to the differing needs of women, challenge gender inequality and promote the realisation of women’s rights? • Which accountability mechanisms need to be in place to ensure governance institutions?
