Guidebook for Integrating Women into Small and Micro Enterprise Projects

摘要

The guidebook is designed to provide AID staff in Washington and in missions with a guide to integrating women into small and micro enterprise development (SME) programs. It is not meant to be an in-depth reference tool or a definitive statement on gender issues in SME development. Rather, it is intended to introduce program designers to gender concerns and to provide an overview of recent findings from the field. It may be used by project design teams in the preparation of Project Identification Documents (PIDs) and Project Papers (PPs); by staff in the review of Operational Planning Grants (OPGs) and other unsolicited proposals; by project managers to ensure that program implementation and evaluation properly consider women; and by other development professionals interested in formulating more inclusive and effective programs.
