Gender and age sensitivity considerations

Preparation:

• Have both men and women, and boys and girls as relevant, been actively involved in determining the overall purpose and ultimate uses of the CPA to be produced?

Data gathering:

• Have both men and women, and boys and girls as relevant, been engaged in data gathering activities? Are they aware of the gender dimension and able to gather gender-sensitive data? If not, will training or other capacity-building be provided to enable analysts to be gender sensitive?
• Have gender and age sensitive indicators been developed and used during the CPA? Have the views of both women and men, boy and girls as relevant, been elicited?
• Are there practical problems in gathering data, conducting interviews and related tasks that are rooted in gender roles as practised in the society, and have ways been found to address these problems?

Analysis:

• Have both women and men, boy and girls as relevant, participated actively in analysing the data gathered and applying the analytical tools and frameworks?
• Has the resulting CPA findings been validated by both women and men, and boy and girls as relevant?
• What does the CPA reflect regarding differential impacts of conflict on women, men, girls, boys, youth and elderly?
• Has the CPA process revealed any gender and age-based differences, in terms of particular potential roles for men or women, boys and girls, in promoting peace or addressing specific conflict issues?
• Has the CPA revealed specific dynamics of the conflict that empower or disempower women and men, girls and boys, in certain ways based on their gender? Could these dynamics inform steps taken towards a sustainable conflict prevention or peacebuilding process?

Results:

• Are the outcomes of the gender and age analysis followed-up, i.e. are gender-sensitive and child rights-based specific measures proposed?
