项目摘要

Summary The project builds on existing research using data resources held by NGOs to produce high-quality, impactful research into gender equality in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. Its aim is to further contribute to improvements in perceptions and representations of women's rights and empowerment in these three DAC-listed countries in the Sahel by developing an innovative methodological approach to secondary data research and by bringing together traditional media (radio) and social media platforms. Using natural language processing (NLP) - a form of artificial intelligence - for the large-scale qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data, and WhatsApp surveys for listener feedback, the project examines NGO secondary data (radio output; concept notes; related documents; statistics; theories of change, and legal texts) from radio stations in the three countries. It investigates and compares perceptions of women's rights and empowerment, how they are shaped and portrayed by radio, and how they impact understandings of, and attitudes towards women and gender equality in the countries in order to give recommendations, impacting on policy and practices, which will promote gender equality and give women a greater voice in society. Gender inequality is extensive in the three countries and women have always been the first victims of under-development. There are high child marriage rates, low literacy rates, especially amongst girls, polygamy is common and violence against women is rife, particularly in conflict-affected zones. Radio is the main source of information. To be effective and to reduce obstacles to women's voices being taken into account and ensure the evolution of gender-related problems, radio needs to broadcast relevant subjects in an accessible manner, and must target not only a female audience, but the whole population. Programming must be designed with the participation of listeners and experts. The project uses NLP to transcribe and initially code the secondary data, allowing large quantities of information to be analysed. Listeners are questioned interactively on the programme content and their perceptions of women's rights and empowerment throughout the project using WhatsApp surveys. These enable significant numbers of individuals to be consulted over large areas, some being conflict-affected and not reachable by researchers, and at low cost, not achievable through individual or group interviews. Such surveys also allow for questions and responses as voice messages promoting greater inclusivity amongst populations with low literacy rates. Civil society organisations (CSOs), media experts and journalists are consulted and involved in the process at knowledge exchange workshops during the project. There are two rounds of automated secondary data collection and analysis (weeks 3-7 and 11-15). Each is linked to WhatsApp listener surveys. Knowledge exchange workshops are held before, in between, and after the two rounds of secondary data collection and analysis. Training will be given to journalists in between and after these two rounds regarding improvements to broadcasts and the transfer of best practice. The project benefits women and youth in the three countries; radio stations; donors and other NGO and media development organisations; women's CSOs in the countries; journalists; and academic researchers and practitioners. The project generates two data sets which are based on the NGO secondary data, and additionally generated data from WhatsApp listener surveys. It also expects to deliver at least 3 academic papers, 2 working papers, pamphlets and posters to inform dissemination events; present at a minimum of 3 conferences; hold at least 3 dissemination workshops; and develop and sustain the project website and other media platforms.

该项目以现有研究为基础，利用非政府组织掌握的数据资源，对马里、尼日尔和布基纳法索的性别平等问题进行高质量、有影响力的研究。其目的是通过制定一种创新的二手数据研究方法，并将传统媒体（广播）和社交媒体平台结合起来，进一步促进改善萨赫勒地区这三个DAC名单上的国家对妇女权利和赋权的认识和代表性。该项目利用自然语言处理----一种人工智能----对数据进行大规模的定性和定量分析，并利用WhatsApp调查听众的反馈意见，审查来自这三个国家广播电台的非政府组织二级数据（广播产出、概念说明、相关文件、统计数据、变革理论和法律的文本）。它调查和比较了对妇女权利和增强妇女权能的看法，电台如何塑造和描绘这些看法，以及这些看法如何影响各国对妇女和两性平等的理解和态度，以便提出建议，影响政策和做法，从而促进两性平等，使妇女在社会上有更大的发言权。在这三个国家，性别不平等现象普遍存在，妇女一直是不发达的第一受害者。童婚率高，识字率低，特别是女孩，一夫多妻制很常见，暴力侵害妇女行为普遍，特别是在受冲突影响的地区。无线电是信息的主要来源。为了有效和减少妇女声音被考虑的障碍，并确保与性别有关的问题的演变，电台需要以无障碍的方式广播相关主题，而且必须不仅以女性听众为对象，而且以全体人口为对象。节目的设计必须有听众和专家的参与。该项目使用NLP来转录和初始编码二级数据，从而可以分析大量信息。在整个项目期间，使用WhatsApp调查，以互动方式向听众询问节目内容及其对妇女权利和赋权的看法。这使得能够在大范围内咨询大量个人，其中一些人受到冲突影响，研究人员无法接触到，而且成本低，无法通过个人或团体访谈实现。这类调查还允许以语音信息的形式提出问题和作出答复，以促进提高识字率低的人口的包容性。在该项目期间的知识交流讲习班上，征求了民间社会组织、媒体专家和记者的意见，并让他们参与这一进程。有两轮自动二级数据收集和分析（第3-7周和第11-15周）。每个都与WhatsApp听众调查相关联。在两轮二级数据收集和分析之前、之间和之后都举办了知识交流讲习班。在这两轮会议之间和之后，将向记者提供关于改进广播和传播最佳做法的培训。该项目使这三个国家的妇女和青年、广播电台、捐助者和其他非政府组织和媒体发展组织、各国的妇女民间社会组织、记者以及学术研究人员和从业人员受益。该项目生成了两个数据集，这些数据集基于非政府组织的二级数据，以及WhatsApp听众调查生成的数据。它还预计将提交至少3份学术文件、2份工作文件、小册子和海报，为宣传活动提供信息;出席至少3次会议;举办至少3次宣传讲习班;开发和维持项目网站和其他媒体平台。
