The GAD Plan is a set of interventions designed to make the agency's and LGU's regular programs, projects, and activities, both for the clientele and its own staff, gender-responsive. Interventions contained in the GAD Plans must address the twin concerns of GAD mainstreaming, namely:
Building capacities of the agency/LGU to address the gender issues and women concerns in all aspects of its work; Making its own development plans, policies, budgets, and programs, projects and services gender-responsive, so that these lead to women's empowerment, gender equity and equality. Agencies have to develop both a medium-term GAD Plan covering a period of four to six years, and an annual GAD Plan which is a yearly slice of the medium-term plan. Both of these should be consistent with the agency/LGU mandate and must take their directions from the PPGD or its medium-term implementation framework of its agenda for women empowerment.
