3.3 Gender Analysis

A CARE Gender in Brief should pre‐exist in country and other gender analysis can be accessible with UNWOMEN, UNICEF or from other agencies operating in country. The Gender in Brief should be updated right after the shock and a gender assessment should be undertaken within a month. The following CBI-related information should be derived from these documents:

  • Whether and why women are (or are not) especially vulnerable to poverty and shocks and what exacerbates the risks for women during a shock;
  • The roles, needs and capacities of women, men, girls and boys in relation to income generation, access to market, access to cash and credit and analyse any gendered differences and inequalities;
  • The power relations and participation of men and women with regard to cash generation, access to and control over cash and resources, decision making about how to spend it to meet the identified needs within the family;
  • The way money is divided, controlled, and used within households including within multiple partners households (polygamy, polyandry);
  • The control, within the household, over cell phones, SIM cards and ATM card;
  • The differences between male and female headed households in term of access and control of cash;
  • The cultural norms and practices that shape women’s and men’s access to and control over cash and other family resources.
