Gender Analysis

Gender Analysis (in the Human Development Area)

In this context, Gender Analysis means:

collection and analysis of sex-disaggregated information to reveal different experiences, knowledge, talents and needs of girls and women, boys and men in a society. It is used to ensure that policies, programmes and projects can identify and meet the needs and redress inequities based on gender. Gender analysis aims at contributing to understanding implications of planned interventions and their potential outcomes on women and men.
