The Socio-economic and Gender Analysis Programme (SEAGA)
Mainstreaming and increasing awareness of gender issues
The Socio-economic and Gender Analysis (SEAGA) Programme was established in 1993 to promote gender awareness when meeting development challenges. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO) the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) initially undertook the development of the SEAGA materials.
The Programme aims to increase awareness of and sensitivity towards gender issues, as well as to strengthen the capacity of development specialists to incorporate socio-economic and gender analysis considerations into development planning. Its overall goal is to incorporate socio-economic and gender considerations into development projects programmes and policies in order to ensure that all development efforts address the needs and priorities of both men and women.
IFAD is part of this initiative. Its approach focuses on women rural poor.
