For the Caribbean Development Bank, tackling gender inequalities in the education sector  demands appropriate systems for planning and implementation.  We are therefore pleased that for the first time, a regional tool for integrating and mainstreaming gender into the design and implementation of Education Sector Development Plans (ESDPs) has been developed. Led by CDB Staff, education planners and National Gender Bureaux officials came together to discuss and finalise the Gender Implementation Guidelines (GIG) to integrate gender equality  into  education sector  planning.  The GIG comprises two tools. One is the Pyramid of Minimum Standards, which sets out the process of integrating gender in the design of ESDPs. The second is an accountability and institutional responsibility framework for implementing gender-responsive ESDPs.  With its focus on both design and implementation, the GIG is a holistic tool for helping CDB’s Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs) to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.  We hope that the GIG will be a much-used knowledge product as BMCs continue to pursue inclusive and quality education for all.
