Integrating Women into Small Scale Enterprise Projects: A Guidebook for Project Design and Implementation

摘要

The purpose of the document is to provide Agency for International Development (AID) staff in Washington and in missions with an accessible, easy-to-read guide on how best to integrate women into programs that focus on small enterprise development. It is designed to 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 assure that program implementation and evaluation properly considers women; by other development professionals interested in formulating more inclusive and effective programs. The format selected for the guide is not meant to be a definitive or final word on the subject, but rather a first step in compiling information and experiences to date, and presenting them in a manner useful to program designers and practioners.
