Abstract : Gender mainstreaming is a critical strategy for promoting gender equality and inclusive development by ensuring that gender perspectives are integrated into policies, programs, and governance processes within government institutions. Local government units play a vital role in translating national and international gender equality commitments into concrete actions at the grassroots level. In keeping with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 on Gender Equality, this study focused on determining the level of awareness, extent of implementation, and challenges of gender mainstreaming in the offices of the Provincial Government of Occidental Mindoro, Second District. Data was gathered using a survey questionnaire to assess the awareness, implementation, and challenges of gender mainstreaming within the offices of provincial government. The respondents consisted of personnel from various departments of the Provincial Government who are involved in policy-making, program implementation, and gender-related initiatives. Results revealed that respondents demonstrated a high level of awareness of gender mainstreaming concepts and perceived a high level of implementation across all key dimensions, reflecting sustained efforts to integrate gender-responsive governance within the provincial government. However, respondents also reported a high level of challenges in the implementation of gender mainstreaming, particularly in areas related to commitment and political will, institutional and policy constraints, socio-cultural barriers, and concerns regarding implementation and sustainability. Further analysis showed a positive relationship between awareness and the challenges encountered, indicating that increased awareness of gender issues leads to greater recognition of existing barriers. Similarly, higher levels of implementation were associated with increased challenges. Notably, gender roles and relations and gender socialization emerged as significant predictors influencing the challenges of implementation, suggesting that stronger awareness in these areas contributes to fewer challenges and smoother gender mainstreaming processes. Among implementation factors, policies were found to be the only significant predictor of challenges, underscoring the importance of robust and well-enforced policies in minimizing barriers to effective gender mainstreaming.
