Abstract

This quantitative study to identify the effect of Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines on DPWH Infrastructure Projects in Region XI, particularly the Daang Maharlika Road, covering the cities of Tagum and Panabo and the Municipality of Carmen. A stratified random sampling technique using Cochran (1977) was employed to determine the sampling size. In measuring the level of gender responsiveness Daang Maharlika Road, this study used the Harmonized Gender and Development Guidelines (HGDG) Box 10. GAD checklist for designing and evaluating infrastructure projects. Mean and Standard Deviation was utilized to analyze the data before and after the adoption of HGDG, while secondary data from the agency was used to describe how HGDG affects the prioritization of the DPWH Infrastructure Project in terms of gender and development responsiveness. The survey result showed that before the adoption of HGDG, the level of gender responsiveness of the infrastructure projects was moderate (ï x=1.86) (sd=0.43), which means that most of its road infrastructures and related facilities have promising GAD prospects but still need further technical assistance in some areas. While after the HGDG was adopted, the gender responsiveness of the infrastructure projects improved, as shown in the result that was described as high (ï x=2.50) (sd=0.25). By using the HGDG Tool, the department has guaranteed that the following factors are taken into account during the program/project identification stage: (a) the involvement of both men and women in problem identification; (b) the generation and use of sex-disaggregated data (SDD); and (c) gender analysis to identify gender issues. Lastly, the identified mechanisms to be developed to sustain a gender-responsive infrastructure project are the following: (a) involvement in the decision-making, (b) intensifying the implementation and monitoring, and (c) forging a partnership with other networks.
