I am working on:

Facilitating gender mainstreaming for Fundo de Apoio Social (FAS) in Angola, a government fund to channel financial support for income generating initiatives in rural areas. FAS is also responsible for implementing a holistic household approach through a team of community based "social workers" known as ADECOS (Agentes de Desenvolvimento Comunitario e Saneamento). One of my responsibilities is to help identify strategies and activities to mainstream gender in the work of the ADECOS. GALS is one of the approaches under consideration.
