- Identify and analyze poverty features and gender issues in the education sector, and suggest the educational sector instrument that will be most effective in reducing poverty.
- Identify and describe the target population. Disaggregate data by gender, considering gender differences in educational status, enrollment, and dropout and completion rates by age and level.
- Examine the differences between subpopulations. Point out any differences in access to education between girls/boys and women/men within these groups.
- Examine the target population’s needs and demands for the project. Consider, for instance, whether girls/women and boys/men have different needs for physical facilities for education/training, and how these differences might affect the proposed project.
- Identify absorptive capacity. Consider how women and men will participate in the project—their motivation, knowledge, skills, and organizational resources—and how the project will fit into their culture and society. Identify constraints on girls’/women’s participation in educational projects (school fees, gender-based roles and responsibilities in the household, etc.).
- Identify government and nongovernment agencies and organizations that have a focus on women or interest in GAD and that might contribute to the project.
