  2. The Toolkit

  3. The Toolkit Objective: To motivate and help practitioners in integrating a gender perspective in agricultural value chain interventions and programs. Two types of tools: To support data-collection and research to gain insight into gender constraints, opportunities and strategies within value chains; To guide the facilitation of participatory processes in order to involve male and female value chain actors at different stages. To combine interventions in an approach The tools are selected from existing manuals. (a.o. USAID, GIZ, ILO, Oxfam, SNV) 2nd edition from the toolkit (hard copy) is available as from October 2013 The toolkit is also downloadable from the Gender in Value chain Ning As fromOctoberalso the seperate tools willbedownloadable

  7. 1. ‘Mapping’ a value chain from a gender perspective • Objective • Make contributions of women to the value chain visible, also the ‘invisible’ ones • Identify involvement of women in the segments of the value chain where value adding is high; • Use a gender lens to identify bottlenecks in the value chain.

  8. 2. AnalyzingGender Basedconstaints • What do you gain from using it? • Insight in constraints faced by different gender groups in undertaking their activities in different nodes of the value chain • Support to define actions to address these constraints • Steps: • Analyzing gender based constraints per actor and activity in the value chain • Identification of actions toaddress gender-basedconstraints

  11. 3. Making visible who contributes how to the quality of the product What do you gain from using it? • Make men and women’s contribution to the quality of products and processes in the value chain visible. • Create awareness of the unequal distribution of benefits between men and women from participating in the value chain. How does it work? • Men and women work in separate groups • Sharing and discussions their conclusions in plenary

  12. 4. Assessingcostsandbenefits of aninterventionstrategyfor men andwomen What do you gain from using it? • Assess the possible or actual costs and benefits of the value chain upgrading strategy for different actors in the value chain, • considering relevant dimensions such as amount of work, income, social position or market position. • Analyze costs and benefits differentiated by gender. How does it work? • In a workshop men and women analyze the (potential) effects of an upgrading strategy for different actors, male and female). • Using the cost - benefit matrix for reporting. • Use different colors for positive and negative changes. • Each group presents its completed matrix in a plenary session.
