Gender Analysis for Project Planners
May 2007

This fact sheet provides an overview of gender analysis in the context of AIDS and development projects. It outlines a generic methodology for project planners who want to improve the effectiveness of their programs by integrating gender issues at the project conception stage or who want to understand why they are not achieving anticipated results. It also illustrates gender issues that need to be considered at each phase of the project cycle to help formulate gender analysis for project proposals and on-going projects.

Food insecurity increases people’s vulnerability. Poor nutrition contributes to poor health, low labour productivity, low income, and livelihood insecurity. These factors, among others, put people, particularly women and girls, at risk of HIV infection as they are forced to migrate for waged labour or to engage in transactional sex work for income.
