CDD Initiatives in Mainstreaming Gender in Northeast Brazil
The present study focuses on gender
while analyzing the effects of the Rural Poverty Reduction
Project (RPRP) on the use of time and income generation as
well as on cultural and social capital aspects. The study
was based on a pilot project in Rio Grande do Norte designed
to reinforce actions of the RPRP's focus on gender. The
study should be viewed only as an exploratory evaluation
that can be indicative of project effects, since the sample
used was small and the time span between the
subproject's implementation and the collection of
impact data was short (only one year). However, other
measures in the methodology guarantee a satisfactory minimum
level of rigorousness in the evaluation, such as the
comparison to a control group taken from a pipeline
population of potential beneficiaries and a before-and-after
approach to the analysis. The integration of gender concerns
into World Bank poverty-reducing programs has been
implemented by promoting inclusive development, ensuring
that both women and men have a voice in the development of
their community and benefit from new development
opportunities. Part of this strategy is to advance
women's economic empowerment by enhancing their ability
to participate in land, labor, financial, and product
markets. The current study was conducted simultaneously with
the pilot project in order to document its results and, when
possible, draw lessons that could be helpful in new
operations. The study estimates, on a preliminary basis, how
community investments that save women's time in
household activities by themselves or combined with
investments in production create the enabling environment
for women's economic empowerment and, eventually, help
reduce poverty.
