| Short Summary |
Designed to help CIDA staff understand how to use gender-sensitive indicators, this guide reviews techniques for choosing appropriate indicators and discusses specific methodological approaches to using them at the project level. It outlines what gender-sensitive indicators are and discusses why they are useful. It also differentiates between quantitative and qualitative indicators: quantitative indicators rely on more formal survey data and relate to the measures that can be quantified, such as the number of people who own a sewing machine in a village; qualitative indicators rely on more informal methodologies and try to capture people's judgements and perceptions. Essential criteria for selecting indicators are outlined. For example, indicators should be relevant to the needs of the user; they should be collected in a participatory fashion with input from all stakeholders; and they should be easy to use and understand. This is followed by a review of specific gender-sensitive indicators relating to education, health, participation, and empowerment.
