This guidance note is developed to:

• Guide the facilities in mainstreaming gender equality and women empowerment in programming and operations.
• Ensure the overall results of stabilization lay the foundation for gender equality and women empowerment in the region.

This document guides staff working on the facilities in ensuring interventions are building forward, replicate successes in the first phase of programming and incorporate learnings where needed. It aims to be practical and to provide tools to practitioners on the ground.
