随着农业发展机构对妇女赋权的承诺日益增加，需要有衡量妇女赋权的健全方法和指标，以了解哪些类型的项目或项目执行战略能够或不能增强妇女的能力。农业妇女赋权指数(VVEAI)已被广泛使用，它要求适应以满足监测项目和评估其影响的需要。在本文中，作者描述了项目级别的WEAI(或PRO-WEAI)的适应和验证，农业发展项目可以利用该指数来确定妇女(和男子)丧失权力的关键领域，设计适当的战略来解决已确定的缺陷，并监测与妇女赋权相关的项目成果。12个支持WeAI的指标被映射到三个领域：内在代理(权力内部)、工具代理(权力到)和集体代理(权力与)。性别平等指数比较了同一个家庭中男性和女性的赋权得分。作者描述了PRO-Weal的发展，包括：(1)PROW-Weal与其他版本的Weal的区别；(2)在性别、农业和资产项目第二阶段(GAAP2)期间在13个农业发展项目中试行PROWAI的过程；(3)来自GAAP2项目的量化数据分析，包括赋权和被赋权的家庭内部模式；以及(4)项目地点探索妇女赋权概念的定性工作的结果总结。文章最后讨论了从PRO-Weal中吸取的教训以及进一步发展赋权衡量标准的可能性。(C)2019年提交人。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。
With growing commitment to women's empowerment by agricultural development agencies, sound methods and indicators to measure women's empowerment are needed to learn which types of projects or project-implementation strategies do and do not work to empower women. The Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (VVEAI), which has been widely used, requires adaptation to meet the need for monitoring projects and assessing their impacts.In this paper, the authors describe the adaptation and validation of a project-level WEAI (or pro-WEAI) that agricultural development projects can use to identify key areas of women's (and men's) disempowerment, design appropriate strategies to address identified deficiencies, and monitor project outcomes related to women's empowerment. The 12 pro-WEAI indicators are mapped to three domains: intrinsic agency (power within), instrumental agency (power to), and collective agency (power with). A gender parity index compares the empowerment scores of men and women in the same household. The authors describe the development of pro-WEAL including: (1) pro-WEAl's distinctiveness from other versions of the WEAL (2) the process of piloting pro-WEAI in 13 agricultural development projects during the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project, phase 2 (GAAP2); (3) analysis of quantitative data from the GAAP2 projects, including intrahousehold patterns of empowermentidisempowerment; and (4) a summary of the findings from the qualitative work exploring concepts of women's empowerment in the project sites. The paper concludes with a discussion of lessons learned from pro-WEAl and possibilities for further development of empowerment metrics. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
