The 6th roundtable - organized by the Czech Forum for Development Cooperation FoRS, funded by the EU and co-financed by the Visegrad Fund - was held in Prague on 18-19 March 2010 within the project of the Center of Social and Economic Research, CASE, “Fostering Global Responsibility- Building a Development Policy Knowledge Network to Enhance NGO Public Outreach Initiatives in EU New Member States”. The roundtable comprised of two sessions which mainly focused on mainstreaming gender into development cooperation. The overall objectives were to learn how to promote gender equality and women’s human rights in development, to learn concrete methods and practical tools how to mainstream gender in all projects and policies, and to strengthen the participant’s practical skills on how to do internal evaluations. The participants were representatives of national platforms of four European countries (Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland), NGDO representatives from the host country (Czech Republic), experts, representatives from the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Czech Development Agency, and representatives of the Overseas Development Institute, ODI, and CASE The discussions that were part of the roundtable highlighted that the majority of the audience were new to the subject of gender and gender mainstreaming and showed how important it is to strengthen this topic within development cooperation.
