Collecting sex-disaggregated data Millicent Liani Workshop on Mainstreaming Gender in L&F proposals held on 24 - 28 November 2013 at Naivasha Country Club
Introduction Whenever you intend to formulate a project, you should always be aware of the gendered aspects of the data you collect. This is not limited to differences in the contents of the data, but also in the way you collect data. The various techniques and tools for data collection can lead to different outcomes if you use them with women or men. This session presents: meaning of sex-disaggregated data; key gender analysis questions; and of examples PRA tools and sex-disaggregated data
Sex-disaggregated data Sex-disaggregated data is data that is collected separately from men/boys and women/girls. When talking about sex-disaggregated data, we are not referring to comparisons of male- and female-headed households. In gender analysis, the unit of analysis is the individual men and women from the MHHs and FHHs Female-headed households are often more labor and resource constrained than male-headed households, but these disparities cannot necessarily be attributed to the sex of the household head.
Key gender analysis questions Who does what? How? Where? When? Why? (Labour) Who uses what? How? Where? When? Why? (Access) Who controls what? How? Where? When? Why? (Decision-making and control = power) Who knows what? How? Where? When? Why? (information = power) Who benefits from what? How? Where? When? Why? (benefit-sharing) Who is included in what? How? Where? When? Why? (participation) (source: Hill, C. 2011. Gender and REDD Training CARE Tanzania)
