Aware that gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential conditions for achieving sustainable development, the Ibero-American Organizations (OIB) and the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) have committed to working together to integrate the gender perspective into all areas of their activities. In this context, training in gender equality is an essential step to strengthen the capabilities of technical and political personnel involved in international cooperation. The online course “I know about gender: an introduction to gender equality in the Ibero-American System and the CPLP” provides an introduction to fundamental concepts, the international and regional human rights framework, and practical strategies for mainstreaming the gender perspective in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs and public policies. This training was designed in a dynamic and interactive way, and includes updated tools and examples from both the Ibero-American context and Portuguese-speaking cooperation, promoting an intersectional approach that is sensitive to the diverse sociocultural realities of our countries.
The course is aimed at staff from Ibero-American Organizations, Technical Units and Intergovernmental Councils for Associated Programs, Initiatives and Projects (PIPA), as well as public institutions in the Ibero-American region and the CPLP, and also strategic partners in regional cooperation.

- Module 1: Basic concepts of the analytical category of gender
This module provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts related to gender equality. It addresses issues such as gender, stereotypes, socially assigned roles, intersectionality, gender-based violence and women’s empowerment. Through interactive content, reflection exercises and audiovisual resources, a common understanding is promoted that allows the integration of the gender perspective in the different areas of work. The module includes specific examples and references from CPLP countries, reinforcing the regional dimension of this training. - Módulo 2: International and regional framework for gender equality
This module presents the main international and regional instruments relating to human rights and gender equality, including the commitments made by States within the Ibero-American System and the CPLP. It analyses key agreements such as CEDAW, the Belém do Pará Convention, the Beijing Platform for Action and the 2030 Agenda, highlighting the importance of gender equality in sustainable development processes and public policies. - Module 3: Gender-sensitive planning in cooperation
This module provides practical tools for integrating the gender perspective into all stages of the cycle of cooperation programmes and policies, from their identification and formulation to their evaluation. It addresses methodologies such as gender analysis, gender-sensitive budgets, affirmative actions and the formulation of indicators. Using examples from Ibero-American organisations and the CPLP, it promotes more inclusive planning that is aligned with commitments to equality.
The course is a joint initiative of the Ibero-American Organizations (SEGIB, OEI, OIJ, OISS and COMJIB) and the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP), in collaboration with UN Women and with the support of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
