lpv:translated text	"The quest for equality should permeate the work of the Directorate-General for Development at all levels. It is not to be brought in as a “sort of optional add-on”. This must naturally lead to a reformulation of development goals and strategies, together with a transformation of institutions and processes so that both women’s and men’s priorities and needs are better reflected. In addition, measures must be taken to combat differences on the grounds of gender. Equality must permeate not only projects and programmes but also all overarching goals, action plans and strategies. It would appear that we are in agreement about this. However, responsibility for ensuring that due attention is given to equality lies with departmental and unit managers. If the latter do not have the required professional competence, then nothing will happen and gender mainstreaming will no longer be a priority. Extremely few members of the Directorate-General for Development, that is to say unit managers and more senior managers, have taken part in the gender courses that have been organised. Only manager has participated in gender training, and for half a day. That is naturally unacceptable. What is the Commission prepared to do to ensure that unit managers and more senior managers go through the necessary gender training? Gender has in fact been included in the compulsory introductory course for new employees, but then with only one to two hours devoted to it on each course. This limited training element has, however, been removed from all introductory courses which have taken place in recent times. As I point out in my question, one to two days, and not one to two hours, need to be devoted to the subject. My question is this: is the Commission really prepared to comply with the adopted guidelines for gender mainstreaming at the Directorate-General for Development?"@en1
