Lessons learnedEngendering integrated into MDG localisation processLocalised MDGs embedded in national policy (PRSP) from the start. explore alternative gender indicators:
MDG3 does not mean that MDG framework is engendered: all goals have gender implicationsMDG3 needs to be adapted to fully reflect national context and priorities
gender perspective requires more than sex disaggregated data
Examine links between indicators: eg agricultureUse quantitative and qualitative data, range of sources (violence)
