Résumé	Microfinance impact assessment is the set of methods used to measure the causal effects of small loans, savings, and related financial services — long promoted as a tool against poverty — on borrowers' income, business activity, consumption, and empowerment. After two decades in which observational studies reported large gains, a wave of randomized evaluations from around 2010 onwards, exemplified by Banerjee, Duflo, Glennerster, and Kinnan's Hyderabad study with Spandana and Karlan and Zinman's randomised credit-scoring work, delivered a more sober and credible verdict.	Gender 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.
