Gender Mainstreaming
Is it safe for all stakeholders to share their interests and needs? How can we make it safer?
What are the different needs of different groups of women, men, girls, boys, and people with other gender identities?
If gender equality is not the highest priority for stakeholders, where does it rank?
Are we asking questions about the situation of women, men, girls, boys, and people with other identities to all stakeholders?
Which stakeholders actively support, are blind to, or oppose gender equality?
How can we share information so that it best reaches women, men, and people with other gender identities from different groups by considering their literacy, the media platforms they use, and their social networks?
Who can access information about our project?
How do we plan for stakeholder engagement to ensure that women, men, and people with other gender identities can participate? For example, are spaces for engagement safe, what language should be used, and do childcare arrangements exist?
How does our engagement affect relations among stakeholders? Is there any risk that women, men, and people of other gender identities will face (greater)?
Representativeness
How are we defining stakeholders or key leaders? Does this definition exclude certain groups?
Do stakeholders represent the interests of diverse women, men, girls, boys, and people with other gender identities?
Who speaks and to whom are we listening?
What power dynamics exist among stakeholders? Is this power dependent on gender or other factors? How?
Who has the time and resources (e.g., financial means, transportation, care giving support, internet connectivity, language skills, information, networks, etc.) to participate in consultations?
How can we ensure a gender balance and the adequate representation of organizations with gender expertise, including traditionally marginalized groups? Do we need to provide additional support so that they can participate?
Who speaks for women, men, girls, boys, and people with other gender identities who are not organized or cannot access decision-makers?
Which stakeholders can positively or negatively influence gender equality outcomes?

Use sex-disaggregated data to inform your analysis
Include people who are different from you
Beware of stereotypes
Collect information from men and women from different groups
Examine and be aware of your own biases
