Who’s involved in learning exercise?
Summary of steps in learning task
1. Gather evidence about (women’s) current work in households . . . and the tensions and trade-offs with the current market opportunity.
2. Ask women where they believe need most to negotiate to be able to maintain economic leadership in the market opportunity?
3. Discuss with women what factors enable women’s agency.
In the face to face meeting, on the basis of new evidence collected, we will propose and debate some potential programme components or interventions that will facilitate and support women’s agency/negotiating power in households and the market programme.
Actual stories on women’s agency: Colombia
“Women gained more agency when the store was established – a real, visible building – more important than us earning a few dollars. Suddenly, it was clear that women were capable of running a business.”
Actual stories on women’s agency: Sri Lanka
“We enjoy the feeling that we are being productive and not just carers of children and husband. Timeis not such a problem when you are efficient. However, we do not have the free time as we hadbefore. We have to plan our work and time more efficiently.”

B) Preparing the presentation of your findings for Azerbaijan meeting
General guidelines on presenting findings:What to bring to Azerbaijan
1. Diagram on sources of goods, services and income for households [and Notes page]
2. Diagram of women's work in household, community and the (new) business [and Notes page]
3. Areas that women want to re-negotiate [and Notes page]4. Visual on factors that facilitate women's agency (GAMM)
and stories about women's agency5. Brief description of the programme/business
Note: MOST programmes will have incomplete ‘findings’ – this is the ideal to aim for, and note where you have gaps in your information.
General guidelines on presenting findings
1. Keep info short and sweet – include only most important points, show ranking (other details in the Notes page)
2. Provide numbers – e.g.average number of hours, number of women, percentage of time, the distances or output
3. Be as specific as possible – write ‘Sunday school and vaccination campaign’ rather than ‘community work’
4. Use actual names – (helps in discussions with others) rather than ‘buyer’ or ‘women’s group,’ write ‘Ramad Cocoa Exporter’ and ‘El Amanecer women’s association’
5. Use colour coding for different categories on the diagram, such as green for community work, red for farm work, yellow for household chores, blue for care of people, and purple for work required by the business
6. Add picture(s), where possible
Example: Diagram on Sources of Goods, Services and Income for Households

Example of NOTES for diagram1. The figures here about income is based on averages computed from a baseline study conducted by Oxfam in Azerbaijan. When validated during the FGD, the figures were more or less accurate, except for income whether the women present said they are earning less than the averages presented in the diagram.2. When asked to describe the regular routine of men and women, the results were as follows
3. The incidence of violence vs. women is reportedly high but this has declined in recent years. Divorce is allowed recently, so young women resort to divorce to avoid violence. A new form of discrimination has arisen: husbands use bribery to have state authorities render decisions about property and other related matters in favour of men.
