Gender analysis needs to take place early in the planning process so that an understanding of gender roles and power relations is built into the project. All projects/programs should include an analysis of gender and include data on gender issues within the overall situation analysis.

This template provides key questions to consider while developing a gender analysis/assessment for a particular project/program for submission under the Simplified Approval Process (SAP). Be sure to tailor these questions to the context of your project/program. Also, be certain to include quantitative data (i.e. sex – disaggregated) and qualitative data while developing the gender analysis/assessment.
