HOW DOES IT WORK?
The macro- and meso-analyses (4.1a and 4.1b) deal with outreach and impacts. The micro level analysis helps to identify major constraints faced by women at the household level, which will have repercussions on the meso and macro levels.

Checklist

Gender roles
|
- What is the sexual division of labour within the household (socially determined gender roles): (What are men’s and women’s reproductive roles / What tasks are performed by men and women?)
- How much time and energy are spent?
- How does it relate to women and men’s other roles (reproductive / community12)?
- How does the work performed in the value chain add to their work burden?
|
|
Gendered access to resources
|
- What is women’s and men’s access to resources in order to perform tasks?
- Are there any specific constraints faced by women in particular?
- See Tool 4 on differentiated access to resources.
|
|
Gendered control over benefits
|
- Do women / men benefit equally at the household level? Who earns income? Who decides on the use of the income? Who decides on family budget allocation? What is women’s decision-making power on spending of the household budget?
- Are other types of benefits generated (financial, visibility, credibility, better access to information and social networks)?
|
|
Gendered influence on power dynamics within the household
|
- How is women’s contribution perceived at household level?
- Are gender roles changing? If yes, is women’s changing role / increased income valued within the household? Within the community? Does it have an impact on her decision-making and negotiating power?
- Do women attend / participate in more meetings at community level? Do they speak up?
- For what purpose is additional income generated by the intervention spent?
- What are the changes in men’s behaviours / attitudes? Do men still take their responsibilities within the household? Do they get involved in household chores and childrearing to support their wives?
