- challenges:
- Gender equality goes against some of the local cultural practices and progress in this area and may take some time to achieve.
- success:
- There were some good achievements by the project in the area of gender. The project team required that least 35% of workers were female. Upon implementation 43% of workers were females. Women received equal pay for equal work to men with payment made on the basis of work outputs rather than time. 40% of VDC members were required to be female and females were included in key decision-making positions. Domestic violence and gender legal awareness were included in the training curriculum. This work provides a solid base for future projects to continue work around improving gender equality.
- context:
- Some beneficiaries, including NMSP did not fully agree with the ILO policy of equal pay for women and men (although payment was output not time based and the approach was clearly explained to all stakeholders). Trainers reported that younger men were responsive to the messages around equal rights for both sexes and strategies for eliminating domestic violence, but the perspectives were unfamiliar to them.
- description:
- More support and discussion around gender issues is required for gender equality to be fully absorbed by the communities. Gender equality goes against some of the local cultural practices and progress in this area and may take some time to achieve.
