Gender Checklist: Agriculture
Asian Development Bank | June 2000
Abstract
This checklist is designed to assist staff and consultants in implementing ADB’s policy and strategic objectives on gender and development (GAD) (see ADB’s Policy on Gender and Development, May 1998). It will guide users through all stages of the project/program cycle in identifying the main gender issues in the agriculture sector and in designing appropriate gendersensitive strategies, components, and indicators to respond to gender issues. ADB staff should use the checklist in identifying gender issues in the initial social assessment (ISA) during the fact-finding phase of project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA). Consultants should use it in carrying out more detailed social analysis during the PPTA. It should be emphasized, however, that not all questions are relevant to all projects, and staff and consultants must select the questions most relevant in the specific context. Purpose of the checklist Guidelines on the preparation of gender-sensitive terms of reference for the ISA and the social analysis are also included, as are case studies from ADB’s project portfolio, to demonstrate good practices in mainstreaming gender in agriculture projects. For project preparation the checklist may be used together with ADB’s Handbook for Incorporation of Social Dimensions in Projects (1994), Guidelines on Benefit Monitoring and Evaluation, and Briefing Papers on Women series. Other useful references are listed at the back of this brochure. The checklist was prepared by Shireen Lateef using preliminary work by Penelope Schoeffel, a staff consultant. Monawar Sultana provided additional valuable inputs to the subsector checklists and contributed some case studies. Mary Ann Asico edited the text and Jun dela Cruz prepared the final layout.
