The Gender Lens Incubation and Acceleration Toolkit (GLIA Toolkit) is an instructional guide for incubators, accelerators, and other entrepreneurial support organizations operating in Southeast Asian countries with the aim of improving the various issues surrounding working women in Southeast Asia.
The GLIA Toolkit was developed with the aim of building a gender smart entrepreneurial ecosystem in Southeast Asia by incorporating a gender perspective into the activities of entrepreneurs and surrounding stakeholders.
What this toolkit does?
In this toolkit, we explore three key areas where, as intermediaries, we can apply a gender lens to promote and drive gender-equitable change. These include our organisation, their program/s, and our engagement with the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This toolkit allows you to choose the issues you want to address within these areas, and select and implement strategies according to your context and available resources. The toolkit isn’t designed to impose unrealistic conditions on you or your organisation but rather, to meet you where you are and provide realistic solutions for you to test and explore.
How to use this toolkit?
This toolkit was created for intermediaries who want to apply a gender lens to their work. It aims to provide a mindset, framework, and blueprint, rather than a step-by-step guide; helping you to ask the right questions rather than giving you the right answers. They have done this intentionally, to create a space for you and your team to explore, innovate, and contextualize the content.
