comments:
Women other marginalised groups e.g. People with Disabilities (PWDs)
challenges:
In South Africa the intervention in the automotive sector does not include informal businesses, where more women and black-owned enterprises would be represented.
success:
In Ghana, a major attribute of the sectors that works positively for the project is the predominance of women as workers and employers in both sectors chosen—shea and garments. This has eased the attainment of gender targets on the project.
context:
Depending on the country and sector, some are dominated by women (e.g. shea in Ghana) and other are not (e.g. automotives in South Africa).
description:
Mainstreaming gender inclusion and non-discrimination. Choosing sectors for project interventions that already include women (and potentially other marginalised groups) is a way of mainstreaming gender inclusion and non-discrimination within the programme.
administrative_issues:
This has ramifications for the design stage of future country projects. Because sectors are chosen through tripartite dialogue, influencing the choice to include sectors that already include women and marginalised groups will likely require advocacy by the ILO and gender and equality advocates within the other tripartite groups.
