The Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) is a fantastic data collection tool, but what happens after you’ve learned about the findings from the report? How can you turn that knowledge into action? This webinar talked about two resources that can help you apply WEAI findings in your project: (1) the Intervention Guide for the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index; and (2) the Feed the Future Gender Integration Framework.

The Intervention Guide for the WEAI is a resource to help USAID missions and implementers design interventions for the domains of empowerment prioritized in the WEAI using market facilitation and social/behavior change approaches. The Intervention Guide for the WEAI complements the Feed the Future Gender Integration Framework, which is an analysis tool to help USAID missions and implementers use WEAI data to determine where are the programmatic needs and ensure that they are being addressed.

This webinar explored what’s in the Intervention Guide for the WEAI, how it complements the Gender Integration Framework, and how to use both resources to best implement interventions within a project setting.
