Description:

Current measures of women’s empowerment in the agricultural sector focus heavily on agricultural production. Most rural households, however, rely on multiple income streams that include processing and marketing, and many interventions, including nutrition-sensitive projects with livelihood diversification components, focus on women’s empowerment within agricultural and non-agricultural market systems. To address these needs, we have recently developed the optional add-on market inclusion (+MI) modules and indicators for the pro-WEAI, along with complementary qualitative protocols. The new indicators cover aspects of intrinsic, instrumental, and collective agency and of the empowerment environment which might be addressed by gender-transformative interventions. The accompanying qualitative protocols collect data with a range of actors across the market system. This learning lab will orient participants to these +MI add-on modules and the qualitative protocols and prepare them to use these resources.
