The purpose of this report is to capture progress and learning on how gender issues have been taken into account in the Strategic Response Plan (SRP) 2015 as well to provide an analysis on the implementation of the IASC Gender Marker and information on its future evolution. It is meant to inform sectorial programmers, clusters, cluster lead agencies, decision makers, OCHA and donors on how well current appeal processes take gender issues into account and, building on lessons learnt, how consideration for gender issues could be enhanced in future appeals. The findings are derived from reports and interviews with GenCap Advisers, who conducted a review of SRPs and of projects as part of their support to humanitarian actors. As in previous years, GenCap Advisers, either through country deployment or remote support, engaged in various ways to support the different phases of the Strategic Response Plan. Advisors also engaged at global level to ensure that guidance and processes fully integrate gender issues.
