Told to ‘apply a gender lens’—but not sure how? This article breaks down 5 different gender analysis frameworks and when to use each: For example... Harvard Analytical Framework (a.k.a. Gender Roles Framework) → Best for economic-focused projects (e.g. agriculture, productivity, labour). → Use it when you want to: • Map gender roles and access to resources • Build gender-sensitive budgets • Focus on “who does what” and “who controls what” → Heads-up, it is less effective for analysing power or social norms. Moser Gender Planning Framework → Best for long-term development planning and structural change. → Use it when you want to: • Distinguish between practical needs (e.g. water, childcare) and strategic interests (e.g. land rights) • Plan transformative gender programming • Influence policy or systems change → Think of it as: A radar for both short- and long-term impact. Read the article to explore more frameworks. Just as how you would not use a microscope to look at a landscape, make sure to select the right gender analysis framework #GenderAnalysisFramework #Gender 🔔 Subscribe to the newsletter

GENDER PERSPECTIVES IN RESEARCH Gender perspectives in research involve integrating an understanding of gender differences and inequalities throughout the research process. This approach ensures that both women’s and men’s experiences, needs, and challenges are considered. It enhances research quality, relevance, and equity by addressing power dynamics, access to resources, and social roles. Incorporating gender starts with framing inclusive research questions, using gender-sensitive methodologies, ensuring balanced participant selection, and analyzing data with attention to gender and intersecting factors such as age or socioeconomic status. It also involves sharing findings in ways that are accessible and beneficial to all genders. Gender perspectives are crucial across sectors like health, education, agriculture, and STEM, helping to uncover hidden disparities and inform more inclusive policies and programs. Therefore, applying a gender lens strengthens research outcomes and contributes to social justice by promoting equity and inclusion in both the process and impact of research.
