The preparation of the Country Gender Assessment (CGA) included two stages. The first comprised a review of all available documentation and data related to gender issues. The second consisted of consultations with government, non-governmental organization s (NGOs), members of civil society, and donors. These consultations led to a two-day workshop with participation by representatives of various Ministries, as well as other government agencies, district councils, civil society members and NGOs. The purpose of the workshop was to obtain input from the participants in the form of a body of proposals for plans and initiatives covering areas considered of high priority, with a view to enhancing the effectiveness of development programs and projects. The CGA is by its nature an ongoing activity rather than a defined product.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGEDAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTUREANALYTICAL WORKBROAD CONSULTATIONSCIVIL SOCIETYCOMMUNITIESCREDIT SCHEMESCROPSDATA COLLECTIONDATA SOURCESDEBT RELIEFDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKING POSITIONSDECISION-MAKING PROCESSDEMOGRAPHIC STRUCTUREDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT PROCESSDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSDISCRIMINATIONDISTRICTSDONOR COMMUNITYECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTEDUCATIONEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT STATUSEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTREME POVERTYFAMILIESFAMILY LAWFARMERSFEMALE HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFISHFOOD SECURITYGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DISPARITIESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGENDER PERSPECTIVEGIRLSHEALTHHEALTH SERVICESHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD STRUCTUREHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLITERACYINCOMESINFANTSINFORMAL SECTORINSTITUTIONAL CONTEXTINTEGRATIONJOB MARKETLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLAWSLIVESTOCKLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL LEVELSMALARIAMORBIDITYMORTALITYMOTHERSNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL POLICYNGOSPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOWERPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIORITY AREASPRIVATE SECTORPUBLIC ENTERPRISESPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC SECTORREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSEXUAL HARASSMENTSMOKINGSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL INDICATORSSOCIAL SERVICESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTOWNSUNEMPLOYED PEOPLEUNEMPLOYMENTURBAN AREASURBAN HOUSEHOLDSURBAN RESIDENTSVICTIMSVIOLENCEVULNERABLE GROUPSWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/15679
