The final assignment for MDP 510 has two parts, 1) a secondary gender analysis related
to your topic below; and 2) a data collection plan that would allow you to ground truth
your gender analysis and create actionable recommendations that are part of a gender
analysis.
Topic: Access to Land for Women in Agriculture, case study, Global Growers Netwark.
The format of this assignment will mirror a grant proposal. The necessary section title
and short descriptions are below. Keep in mind that:
• While the plans presented in research proposals are often modified during the
research process, the drafting of this initial document is fundamental to the success
of the project. Conducting the gender analysis helps to situate the project and
develop a shared understanding, plan, and procedure;
• This analysis can serve as a baseline guide for implementation and evaluation; it may
be referred to for clarifications throughout the process and can ensure the project
stays on track, adheres (at lease loosely) to the intended logic initially developed, or
can clearly articulate how changed understandings or new information led to changed
approaches in later M&E documentation.
