The GPE on-line platform has been developed by the International
Training Centre of the ILO, Turin within the framework of the project
Capacity Building for Employment Promotion, Gender Equality
and Poverty Eradication for South Africa, sponsored by the
Flemish Community of Belgium and implemented in partnership with
the South African Commission on Gender Equality, with ILO Headquarters
and Africa field offices and with EuroPace Leuven.
The text of the Modules is an adaptation to electronic
version of the ILO Training and Information Package on Gender, Poverty

based on a set of background papers prepared by Guy Mhone, Director,
Wits Graduate School of Public and Development Management (P&DM),
Johannesburg. Their development and finalization was possible thanks
to the generous support of the Flemish Community of Belgium and

Acknowledgements
The Capacity-Building Programme on Gender, Poverty
and Employment is the outcome of fruitful collaboration between
the Women in Development Programme of the former Development Policies
Department of the ILO and the ILO's International Training Centre
in Turin, Italy.
The initiative to synthesize in one volume theoretical
approaches and practical ILO experience relating to the gender dimension
of poverty, employment and social protection was taken by Azita
Berar-Awad, then head of the Women in Development and Social Groups
Unit, who guided the development of the whole project. The idea
of Daniela Bertino of the Turin Centre to convert this publication
into a modular training package and programme resulted in years
of intensive efforts to which many ILO specialists and external
collaborators contributed.
Amelita King-Dejardin made technical contributions
to the various sections of the Modular Package and the training
exercises.
At a Validation Workshop held in Turin from 2 to
5 February 1998, ILO specialists from headquarters and the field
structure, international experts, and representatives of the International
Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the International Organization
of Employers (IOE), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP),
the World Bank, and prominent women's organizations reviewed the
first version of the Package and made valuable suggestions for improving
and enriching it.
