title:

Recommendation 2: Improve gender mainstreaming within the project design. Various interviewees questioned the ultimate impact of the project on child labour, as the project did not sufficiently consider how decisions are taken within families and what roles women can play. The M&E framework was not sufficiently detailed to measure how the project impacted women and how gender equality in different outputs was measured. Future, similar projects addressing child labour through root causes should include an assessment of local family and gender dynamics and tailor project activities accordingly. This includes not only empowerment of women but also training for men on the benefits of strengthening the role of women in certain aspects of family management. Actions to implement this recommendation can include: • Developing a comprehensive gender strategy at the start of the project. The strategy should include, for example, instructions for conducting local gender-sensitive needs assessments; gender-sensitive indicators; and gender-sensitive tools and activities that address both men and women. • Monitor closely how activities interact with family dynamics and how this affects their effectiveness. This requires closer contact with communities to regularly discuss the state of the project and its activities. • Consider involving additional stakeholders linked to women’s empowerment, for example NGOs and Ministries responsible for women and families. They can consult the project on adjusting activities to better reflect gender dynamics and therefore enhancing effectiveness.
