- themes:
- theme:
- Gender equality
- category:
- Conditions of work & equality
- comments:
- Groups likely to be at a disadvantage due to gender varying by country and context.
- challenges:
- The push to expand social security generally benefits men. Even in the informal sector occupational categories which are predominantly female e.g. market traders were not a focus. The push for migrant workers in Nepal to register for social security was pro-male. The vast majority leaving to work overseas are men. In Sri Lanka the choice of the tourism industry was also in a male dominated industry.
- success:
- The Girls Empowering Girls program in Uganda although having a small number of beneficiaries showed how a pro-female program could be adopted. Also child grants and grants to pregnant women are pro-female so overcoming exclusion in these programs was a positive.
- context:
- There appeared to be limited concentrated effort on gender issues. Many staff interviewed said gender was an outworking of SP&PFM activities. There were programs e.g. child benefit paid to the mother but there seem no activities solely with a gender focus.
- description:
- Although gender was considered in the design and there was some evidence of gender-inclusion in the indicators and associated outputs, there were important missed opportunities to further integrate and mainstream gender equality/inclusion.
- administrative_issues:
- The effort to overcome registration issues (and therefore eligibility issues) relating to the child grant can be used as an example for other countries. Female empowerment programs should be a focus in future programs.
