    The document outlines a framework for conducting gender analysis as mandated by the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017. This analysis is essential for improving the efficacy of U.S. government-funded programs by examining how different genders—men, women, boys, and girls—are uniquely affected by such initiatives. It provides a set of guiding questions organized into key domains, including laws and policies, cultural norms, gender roles, access to resources, and patterns of power. Each category prompts the examination of existing inequalities, societal expectations, and potential unintended consequences of program implementations. By engaging with local communities and considering factors such as identity, autonomy, and existing gender dynamics, the analysis seeks to identify gaps and opportunities for enhancing program design. The ultimate goal is to ensure equitable participation and benefit-sharing among all genders, acknowledging the influence of social structures on resource control and decision-making. This structured approach aids in addressing gender disparities, which is crucial for the success of government initiatives, and aligns with broader federal priorities in ensuring gender equity in policy and programming.

The program aims to consist of training that aligns with beneficiaries' needs, including legal frameworks related to migration. There is an expectation for regional representation in project targeting, along with an undefined gender distribution of beneficiaries based on the identification process. Additionally, the document addresses technical details regarding application access through MyGrants, stressing the necessity for applicants to have appropriate accounts for submission.
