Guide on Gender mainstreaming
Gender Mainstreaming is an integral part of EQUAL. It is a tool to better understand the causes of inequalities between women and men and come up with appropriate strategies to tackle them. This guide explains Gender Mainstreaming in simple terms and shows the benefit it can bring. The guide has been written primarily for all who are involved in EQUAL, but it can be useful to others, individuals or organisations.

Guide for Development Partnerships
Learning from the experience of EQUAL partnerships
"Partnership" is a key element in EQUAL. But working together, with partners coming from very varied backgrounds, is not always something easy. This guide, written with the active participation of several DPs, is aimed at supporting all the EQUAL DPs to build up an efficient and fruitful partnership.

Partnership Development Toolkit
A partnership oriented planning, monitoring and evaluation guide for facilitators of EQUAL Development and Transnational Partnerships
The toolkit is designed as a practical guide for facilitators who will help EQUAL Development Partnerships (DPs) to design, develop, monitor and evaluate their projects. It provides best practice techniques for all aspects of project management within a partnership context, supported by diagrams and illustrations. The toolkit is based on extensive research into Round 1. It explains how DPs can use "Project Cycle Management" to design and implement their projects, to identify mainstreaming opportunities and build a logical framework within which to identify and clarify problems and then design, plan, implement, monitor and evaluate projects to overcome them.

Making Change Possible - A Practical Guide to Mainstreaming under EQUAL
"Mainstreaming" is one of the key principles of EQUAL. It is a process which enables innovations and good practices developed under EQUAL to impact more widely on policy and practice. This guide presents information, tools and practical examples covering the mainstreaming process to assist in the development and implementation of mainstreaming plans. The guide has been designed to support the work of EQUAL Managing Authorities and National Support Structures but will be of use to others with an interest in the transfer of innovations into the mainstream.
