1. Are women the primary and main target group (agents and beneficiaries) of the project?

2. If not, are women identified explicitly as part of the target group (agents and/or beneficiaries) of the main components of the project?

If yes to either of the above, the following questions should be answered:

3. Have women whose lives will be affected by the project been consulted during project design and does the project document explain how this was done?

4. Does the project document make it clear how women will be involved as active participants in project implementation, not just as beneficiaries or as a source of manual labour?

5. Are barriers to female participation in the project identified in the document and have measures been designed in order to overcome these barriers?

6. Does the project provide for expertise in the gender aspects of development to be utilized throughout the project cycle and does the document make it clear how the expertise will be used to address gender issues?
