The document provides an overview of gender analysis and gender mainstreaming, emphasizing their importance in achieving gender equality in programming. It outlines the TAF Hybrid Framework for conducting gender analysis, which includes problem identification, understanding causes and effects, and applying gender analysis to inform actions. Key considerations include access, control, opportunities, and constraints related to gender dynamics in project contexts.

Gender Analysis

and Frameworks

Module C
Review of the BIG IDEAS from
previous sections.
Learning Objectives

 Understand the concepts of gender mainstreaming and


gender analysis.

 Identify when gender analysis can be used in program stages.

 Understand the value of gender analysis frameworks and


when they can be used.

 Identify TAF’s key areas of concern regarding gender that


should be considered in a good gender analysis (i.e. power,
access, control, constraints, opportunities).

 Understand how to apply the hybrid framework developed for


the case study.
What is Gender Mainstreaming?

Gender mainstreaming is:

A strategy for considering women’s and men’s


concerns and needs in programming to ensure
that women and men benefit equally and
inequality is not perpetuated.
Why do we mainstream gender?

Gender mainstreaming is a big-picture strategy
to incorporate (or “mainstream”) gender
concerns to achieve gender equality.

Gender analysis is a process to identify,


analyze, and inform action to address gender
inequalities.
What is gender analysis?

Gender analysis involves the collection and


analysis of sex-disaggregated data.

Understanding the different experiences,


knowledge,
Sex-disaggregatedanddata isneeds of men and women
data that, when collected,
allows programs
differentiates between and policies to include those
needs.men and women.
Gender Analysis in Practice

Gender analysis can be used in Project Design,


Implementation, and Monitoring and Evaluation.
Project Design Example
Conduct a baseline survey to understand the project context including
gender roles, stereotypes, and power dynamics.

Implementation Example
Create same-sex groups for trainings and workshops and
utilize female facilitators.

Monitoring and Evaluation Example


Conduct evaluation and collect sex-disaggregated data to see how the
project impacted men and women differently.
Gender Analysis Frameworks

Gender analysis frameworks


are a useful tool with which to
understand gender dynamics
within a project or a context.

Because TAF has a specific
approach, we need a particular
framework to capture our
priorities.
TAF’s Political Economy Approach

All development contexts are inherently


political and involve competing interests.

TAF’s political economy approach


incorporates political and power dynamics of
a local context in program design.

This approach allows TAF’s programs to


identify political actors on all sides and
determine how to best make change.
TAF Hybrid Framework

Step One: Problem Identification

Step Two: Identify causes of the problem and


their impact on men and women.

Step Three: Conduct gender analysis based on


needs and goals. Consider what role men and
women can play to address these.
Step One: Problem Identification

What is the core problem we are


trying to address?
Step Two: Causes and Effects
Key Considerations in TAF’s
Framework:
Access and Control

Consider who controls access to resources.


Access simply means ability to use a resource
(tangible or intangible).

Consider power relations. Inequality in power


relations can lead to imbalanced control over
resources.
Key Ideas in TAF’s Framework:
Opportunities and Constraints

Gender-based opportunities are gender


relations that facilitate men’s or women’s
access to resources or opportunities of any
type.

Gender-based constraints are gender


relations that inhibit either men’s or women’s
access to resources or opportunities of any
type.

Step Three: Gender Analysis
Gender Analysis Activity

Review the case study

Identify the problem

Apply the TAF Hybrid framework


Follow-up Questions

 1. Refer back to Module B in which you identified


areas of gender equality/inequality in Wonderland.
After working through the gender analysis
framework, do you think these issues are critical to
consider?

 2. Do the potential interventions you identified in the


framework address these gender inequalities?

 3. Look at the possible interventions you just


developed. Considering those interventions, provide
two detailed descriptions of how you have
mainstreamed gender into the implementation of this
project.

 4. What might be some obstacles to conducting a


rigorous gender analysis in this context?
