Questions

The correct answer and its explanation are shown together here so you can check them at a glance - neither is ever shown to a learner attempting the quiz, right or wrong.

  1. 1. What makes a GSI requirement operationally meaningful, rather than a wish?

    • It uses the word 'inclusive'
    • It is attached to a specific, checkable decision pointCorrect
    • It appears in the plan's introduction
    • It is signed by a senior official

    'Gender considerations will be taken into account' commits nobody to anything; a checkable requirement attached to a specific decision - like a panel composition rule - actually changes what happens.

  2. 2. What should happen after a consultation surfaces an exclusion finding?

    • Nothing, until the next full review
    • A visible response, even if partialCorrect
    • The finding should be removed from the report
    • A new consultation should be held immediately

    A community that raises an issue and sees no visible response learns not to raise it again. The response does not need to be complete, but it needs to be visible.

  3. 3. Why does a GSI lens have to be applied from the first consultation, not added afterward?

    • It is a legal requirement
    • A GSI annex added after a plan is written rarely changes what the plan doesCorrect
    • It reduces the cost of the plan
    • It is faster to do afterward

    Mainstreaming succeeds or fails at specific decision points made early on; adding a review chapter at the end changes very little about what the plan actually does.

  4. 4. Which of these is a meaningful GSI indicator?

    • Number of women who attended a meeting
    • Change in who holds a decision-making role after an interventionCorrect
    • Number of leaflets distributed
    • Number of consultations held

    Attendance measures who showed up, not whether anything changed. A meaningful indicator tracks a real shift - access, role or resource control.

Written questions

Optional - a lecture is complete without any. Add two-to-three sentence explanation questions where the multiple-choice quiz cannot tell whether an idea actually landed - as soon as one exists, a learner must pass it at 70%, the same platform-wide mark as the quiz, before the next lecture opens.

  1. 1. In two or three sentences: why does mainstreaming succeed or fail at specific decision points rather than in a plan's introduction?

    decision pointssubsidyprocurementpanel

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: Mainstreaming succeeds or fails at specific decision points - who qualifies for a subsidy, what a procurement scores on, who sits on a panel - not in a plan's introductory language. Finding those points is what makes GSI operational.

  2. 2. In two or three sentences: what turns a GSI requirement from a wish into something that actually changes a plan?

    checkablecommitsconsequencewish

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: 'Gender considerations will be taken into account' commits nobody to anything - it is a wish, not a requirement. A checkable statement attached to a specific decision is what actually changes what a plan does.
