Objectives
The project is designed to enhance awareness of Chinese program core partners in the application and mainstreaming of SPG issues in their area of responsibility and to strengthen capacities in applying SPG to policy formulation and implementation. It also aims to operationalise the ACEDP Social Impact Management, Public Participation & Gender Mainstreaming Framework (SPGF) for consistent application across ACEDP activities.
