The Poor Rural Communities Development
Project (PRCDP) is a rural development intervention covering
some of the poorest communities in Guangxi, Sichuan, and
Yunnan provinces in China. The project, which is led by the
Chinese provincial and county project offices (PMO), reaches
out to ethnic minority communities, usually in remote
villages, and provides sub grants for basic infrastructure
and loans for livelihood improvements. The project involves
farmers in important decisions about which kinds of
activities will be implemented, and aims to ensure
participation of both men and women in project design,
implementation, and evaluation. Community members are
brought together for discussions facilitated by the project
team to talk about key challenges facing the community and
to make sure that both women's and men's
priorities are heard when it comes to deciding how village
funds will be used. This smart lesson describes how a simple
'gender mainstreaming' approach was effectively
adopted in targeted villages in rural China and highlighting
the different ways men and women understand community priorities. |
