The GMS Toolkit

The toolkit is a co-publication of the Secretariat and the Commonwealth of Learning which brings together the GMS series of manuals into a user-friendly, learner-centred, training-oriented package. It includes a CD-ROM of all the original manuals, an Action Guide to facilitate individual learning, a Training Manual for gender trainers, and a Change Management Briefing for anyone committed to effecting gender equality through institutional change.

It is the culmination of the Secretariat's Gender management System (GMS) series of publications, which focus on gender mainstreaming in such key sectors as finance, development planning, the public service, legal and constitutional affairs, as well as cross-cutting development issues such as HIV/AIDS, poverty eradication and the Millennium Development Goals, and gender-based violence.

The GMS is the Commonwealth's approach to ensuring that gender equality is a guiding principal in all government policies, plans and programmes. It calls for a broad-based partnership in society in which government consults and acts co-operatively with other key stakeholders, including civil society and the private sector.
