The document describes a framework developed by IFEF-RELIEFH to produce and disseminate open educational resources (OER) on gender equality. IFEF provides education programs and capacity building, while RELIEFH is an OER portal and repository. The framework includes training educators on gender equality concepts, having them develop OER which are peer-reviewed for quality, and hiring developers to produce additional OER hosted on the RELIEFH portal to promote gender equality in education.
