Published by IFPRI, November 19th, 2014
Knowledge Portal

This guide (PDF) by IFPRI, explores the intersection of gender and assets in the context of agricultural interventions. Researchers from IFPRI and ILRI worked together and shared the lessons learned from the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project (GAAP) activities. The guide aims to: 1) increase the reader’s knowledge about the importance of both gender and assets in the development process; 2) strengthen the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of agricultural projects that reduce gender gaps in assets and 3) Identify tools drawn from both quantitative and qualitative approaches to support sex-disaggregated data collection and gender analysis efforts on assets.
