Use the new Gender Impact Assessment Toolkit to ensure ASM-related initiatives meaningfully help women and gender equality.
The toolkit was developed over the course of IMPACT’s work in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda where the organization, along with its partners, identified gaps in tools available to analyze the impact on women in field-based projects addressing ASM formalization. It is the first ever Gender Impact Assessment to be tailored specifically for the ASM sector.
Who Should Use this Toolkit?
Teams behind projects and policies designed to improve experiences and outcomes in the ASM sector will be supported in predicting how gender relations will be affected, then determining how to minimize the potentially negative impacts.
The full spectrum of the GIA Toolkit’s application includes ASM-related programs, processes, policies, legislation, laws, interventions, and regulations. Potential users would include civil society, philanthropists, government departments/agencies, and the private sector.
The toolkit offers 14 strategic tools, including a Gender Impact Matrix and Gender Equality Continuum, and details seven key steps—from data collection to power mapping—to achieving a comprehensive Gender Impact Assessment for ASM-related initiatives.
