Abstract
This study aims to determine the extent of gad projects in Baybay Laguna Circuit from 2020 – 2022. The Philippines has long been considered as one of the most gender-equal nations in Southeast Asia, ranking 8th in the Global Gender Gap Report in 2021. But despite this standing, the country still faces significant gender issues that need to be addressed. This study encompasses various aspects of GAD initiatives undertaken within the Baybay Circuit, seeking to provide a comprehensive analysis of their design, execution and outcomes.
The research involved in the study were 8 GAD Focal Persons and 8 GAD implementing staff of the Baybay Laguna Circuit, Descriptive Qualitative research design with structural interview was employed to determine what GAD goals were achieved, what problems and concern encountered in the time implementation of client focus, organizational focus and GAD attributed projects. Results showed that extensive training is needed to capacitate GAD focals and implementers. All municipalities are more Client focused and a little bit organizational focus rather than doing GAD attribution. Respondents see GAD Attribution as a complicated process, tedious and complex. Institutionalizing GAD Office and capacitating the staff thru GAD related trainings is deemed necessary to allow the full implementation of GAD activities. Limited funding is often the barrier to fully implement GAD activities.
The need to enhance GAD Implementation is clear and the direction of GAD could be moved towards success if actions to address these barriers are done.
