Tools of Gender Analysis: A Guide to Field Methods for Bringing Gender into Sustainable Resource Management

This Guide focuses on ways to use gender analysis to increase the effectiveness of development programs and projects for sustainable development. The primary goal is to make policy, program and project specialists aware of simple and inexpensive tools to incorporate gender concerns into development action. The tools discussed include PRA methods as well as more conventional techniques. They offer ways of gathering data and analysing gender as a variable in household and community organisation for natural resource management.

Manual for socio-economic and gender analysis : responding to the development challenge

This manual is for development professionals and residents of local communities in the North and the South who address constraints to equitable, effective and sustainable development. The authors hope that the framework for socio-economic and gender analysis offered will contribute to capacity building and empowerment of communities. The manual is divided into five sections - an overview, outline of conceptual framework, elaboration of participatory strategies and tools, sketching of scenarios and a concluding section on measuring effectiveness.
