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. Each tool is illustrated with an application from ECOGEN research.
