Notas del editor
Strategic: How do gender norms shape the life choices of women and men in the hub communities? What are the social and material consequences of non conformity with expected behaviors and what opportunities are there for change? Gender integration: What measures are most effective to enable poor women and men to envision and realize upgradation goals in AAS market systems? Innovation: what M&E tools can facilitate cost-effective assessment of intra-household outcomes and impacts? First bullet: gender integration across themes – with a transformative lens; systematic testing of innovative interventions that fill gender resource gaps, but with an eye to influencing the social environment causing these disparities in access, benefits, control Second bullet: Strategic gender research on gender norms, their consequences for life choices, and how to act to change them Third bullet: learning – process monitoring and outcome/impact evaluations: foster replication and scale up. Involves tool development, defining success indicators etc AMBITIOUS but…CG system well placed to lead in shifting the paradigm… need to take risks; reform process sets the stage for this How AAS will support the ambitious agenda – governance of CRP; capacity focused on gender; financial resources
Approach: Innovate through operationalizing gender & development theory in AAS practice – in gender theme AND across themes; transformative agenda cross cuts – intrinsic to aim of sustainable (long lasting) improvements in wellbeing – ensure systems and structures enable poor and marginalized to have more and better life choices; widens the bounds of the possible Experimentation: lack knowledge of what works to facilitate social change & gender equity. Systematically test interventions** to learn what works under what conditions, to inform upscaling and replication ** e.g. Interventions: technical alone; technical + transformative
