SummaryGender Analysis in Development is the systematic examination of the different roles, responsibilities, resources, and constraints of women and men, and of the relations between them, in order to understand how development interventions affect and are affected by gender. Spanning a family of frameworks — the Harvard Analytical Framework, Caroline Moser's gender-planning approach, and Naila Kabeer's Social Relations Approach — it provides comparative tools to surface inequalities, distinguish practical from strategic needs, and design interventions and gender-mainstreaming strategies grounded in sex-disaggregated evidence.Value Chain Analysis examines the full sequence of activities required to bring a product or service from conception through production to final consumers and beyond, asking who does what, who governs the chain, and how the value created is distributed among participants. In its development and pro-poor variant, codified in Kaplinsky and Morris's IDS handbook and grounded in Gereffi's global-value-chain theory, the method is used to identify how poor producers and workers can capture a larger or more secure share of value through upgrading and inclusion.
