Using Research to Inform Policy

Gender Asset Gap Lessons for FTF Monitoring and Evaluation

• Definition of Households

• Source of Information – is interviewing one person sufficient?

• From income to assets (physical and financial)

Measuring Gender Results and Impacts under FTF

First Level Objective:Improved nutritional status esp. of women & children

Increased resilience of vulnerable

communities and households

Increased agricultural value chain on- and off-

farm jobs

Improved agriculture

productivity

Expanding Markets and

Trade

Increased private investment in

agriculture and nutrition-related

activities

Improved access to

diverse and quality foods

Improved nutrition-

related behaviors

Improved use of maternal

and child health and nutrition services

Feed the Future Goal: Sustainably Reduce Global Poverty and Hunger

First Level Objective:Inclusive agriculture sector growth

Indicators: Prevalence of poverty & Prevalence of underweight children

Indicators: -Agriculture sector GDP- Women’s and men’s incomes in rural households

Indicators: -Prevalence of stunted children-Prevalence of wasted children

-Prevalence of underweight women

-Gross margins per unit of land or animal of selected product

# of has of natural resources showing improved biophysical conditions

Value of intra-regional exports of targeted commodities

Value of incremental sales (farm-level)

% national budget invested in agriculture & nutrition

Value of new private sector investment in agriculture sector or value chain

# of local firms & CSOs engaged in food security operating sustainability

Jobs created by invest-ment in agricultural value chains

Prevalence of households with moderate to severe hunger

Women’s Dietary Diversity

Percent of Children 6-23 months that received a MAD

Exclusive breast-feeding under six months

Prevalence of anemia among women of reproductive age

Second-Level Objectives

Engendered Performance Monitoring Sex disaggregation

Gendered HH type

Impact Evaluations on different gender approaches

Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index

Measuring Gender Results and Impacts

under FTF

FTF first-level objective --Inclusive Agricultural Sector Growth

“Inclusion” means “empowered”

Empowerment is a Multi-dimensional Concept

Tool to measure several dimensions


Five domains to be measured:1. Women’s role in household decision-making

related to agricultural production2. Women’s access to productive capital, such

as credit or land 3. Women’s use of income after household needs

are met 4. Women’s access to leadership roles within the

community5. Women’s labor time allocations


Index developed in partnership with: International Food Policy Research

Institute (IFPRI)

Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI)

Performance Monitoring in all FTF countries and for Impact Evaluations


Pilots

Piloted Summer 2011

Interviewed adult male and adult female (+18) in up to 350 households in

– Bangladesh

– Uganda

– Guatemala

Next Steps

• Construct the Index using Alkire-Foster Method• Ready to launch March 2012

– Roll out in FTF baselines (20 countries)

– Report based on data from pilots
