The Gender Assessment for USAID/Haiti was carried out in March 2006, including two-weeks of in-country consultation. Section 1 presents basic development indicators, disaggregated by sex, to measure the relative status of men and women. Section 2 outlines gender dimensions in Haiti in terms of the roles of men and women, patterns of decision-making and control, and relative legal and social status; this section also identifies the broad implications of this analysis for development programming. Section 3 presents a gender assessment of USAID/Haiti's current programs, while Section 4 addresses anticipated future program directions.

Produced by the Equity in the Classroom (EIC) project, this toolkit is a compilation of instruments that permit active research in the classroom and the school to promote increased participation and improved learning by girls and other marginalized students in primary education. The toolkit is designed to orient educators to issues of equity and to help them begin a process of research and inquiry to identify factors in schools and classrooms that limit equitable participation and achievement of girls and other disadvantaged learners.
