Dr. L. A. HijaziUSAID awarded USD 23 million contracts to I-LED Consortium to implement a post-earthquake reconstruction project in Bagh district of AJK and Mansehra district of KP. The first phase of the program covered emergency replied and reconstruction. In the second phase value chain approach was used to improve the livelihoods of the people by improving the productivity of the existing livelihood chains and by linking these chains to national and international markets.
Two years into the project implementation the Consultants were asked to evaluate the impact that the livelihood programs have had on the role of the female segment of the population in terms of access to credit and information, labor segregation, decision making, benefit accumulation, etc. Since women are particularly encouraged by I-LED so it becomes important to know if the benefits of the donor's efforts are reaching the intended population. The Consultants used both the qualitative and quantitative methods to carry out gender analysis.
