challenges:

Regarding gender, a Gender Analysis was never made as planned, and a gender study report is not to be found - which was a lost opportunity in the Project´s efforts to build a needs based field programme.

success:

N/A

context:

The change in Project´s focus from one value chain to another (soya, aquaculture, horticulture) was made through experimenting, as the more understanding/knowledge was generated about the conditions for the target group - associated with each value chain.

description:

The Project staff learnt that studies should have been fielded in the inception phase that could have generated more learning about diverse socio-economic/cultural aspects in the five provinces. Regarding gender, a gender analysis was not made and a gender study report was not found – which was a lost opportunity Projects could learn about people´s (beneficiaries) priorities through Participatory Rural Appraisals (PRA) or some other participatory rapid Reality Check method to understand about youth´s (women and men) job interests in rural areas.

administrative_issues:

The importance of this issues should be reflected in project designs, staffing, resources and implementation in the future.
