The training manual draws from and acknowledges the use of the Gender and Development materials of the National Commission on the Role of the Filipino Women (now the Philippine Commission onWomen) and the Department of Interior and Local Government, which were developed and published with the support women’s groups and funding partners.
The intended beneficiaries of this manual are the CBDRM trainers, practitioners and facilitators, local government authorities and staff, civil society organizations, the academe and women’s groups and communities.
