Mainstreaming succeeds or fails at specific decision points - who qualifies for a subsidy, what a procurement scores on, who sits on a selection panel - not in a plan's introductory language. This lecture finds four such decision points in a real sector plan and attaches a specific, checkable GSI requirement to each.

A requirement with no consequence is a wish

'Gender considerations will be taken into account' commits nobody to anything. 'At least one of three technical panel members must be trained in GSI screening' can be checked, and only the second kind of statement changes what a sector plan actually does.
