  11. What we don’t see…… • Juanita created added value, but does she have control over the (additional) income? • Does Juanita enjoy the benefits of her additional labor (or does her husband manage/control it)? • Juanita’s workload has increased as she takes on new chain activities • She still is responsible for household tasks – cooking, cleaning, childcare, subsistence gardening for family food needs • Plus – mango tree maintenance, harvesting, now also processing, drying and marketing • Juanita is happy to generate extra family income, but with this workload, she is tired!!!

A new framework • Additional Objectives:   • 1) To support the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of value chain interventions that contribute to gender equality in a given context; • 2) To understand how gender equality contributes to pro-poor and economically efficient value chain development.
