| The aim of this practitioners' guide from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is to provide up-to-date, relevant information on why it is important to use gender and intrahousehold research to inform projects and policies. It also shows practitioners how to integrate a gender perspective into development projects, project design and public policy. The guide presents key research findings on gender and intrahousehold aspects of food policy, grouped according to their use in the project cycle framework. For instance, in the project needs assessment group findings showed that men and women may have different preferences and thus different perceptions about resource needs. Pronounced disparities were found to exist between men and women in resource control and outcome. Although women tend to have wider networks than men, they generally mobilise fewer resources. In the project design group, findings revealed that dissemination and targeting of technology has gender implications, in that if technologies are targeted to women they may enhance their freedom of movement and from physical violence and their political awareness; that providing affordable, quality childcare in the community can relieve constraints to women's employment and that participating in group and community activities may provide opportunities for women's empowerment. The study includes case studies and data and was field-tested among practitioners in Africa, Asia and Latin America. | |
