Regional programs / Latin America and the Caribbean regional project 598-0000 · 1970–1996 · International Center for Research on Women (ICRW)
The purpose of this guidebook is to provide practical advice to A.I.D. personnel in the Latin America and Caribbean Bureau on the design and implementation of projects to improve women's economic status. Directed especially to Missions' Project Development Support Office and Technical Offices, this guidebook: (1) provides background information on the economic importance of women in the Latin American and Caribbean region; (2) identifies institutional and procedural factors that have constrained the integration of women's concerns into project design; (3) suggests the roles and responsibilities of each Mission office, along with measures to improve accountability; (4) provides general guidelines for project design, implementation, and evaluation; and (5) makes concrete, specific suggestions on how to integrate women into microenterprise, agricultural, housing, and vocational and participant training projects. A 4-page list of information sources on women's socioeconomic activities, both regional and country-specific, is included.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
