Gender Equity and Social Inclusion Analysis and Political Economy Analysis during an Inception Period with Discussion Group Leader Sarah Miller Frazer

During the inception phase of the USAID-funded Project Supporting the Efficient Management of State Resources (GERÉ) in Haiti, RTI worked to achieve stakeholder consensus, recommend targeted communes, assess local context, revisit assumptions, and finalize program design.  Central to the inception phase were the Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) Analysis and applied Political Economy Analysis (PEA). RTI’s GESI Analysis methodology is a systematic process to examine roles, rights, and opportunities of marginalized social groups; RTI’s applied PEA methodology enables teams to deepen understanding of the local context and operationalize adaptive management by identifying key actors, incentives, opportunities for change and develop realistic, politically-informed activities. The applied PEA and GESI findings were used for setting technical priority areas and recommending targeted intervention sites.

During this session, participants will hear about RTI’s experiences implementing inception periods, conducting GESI and applied PEA studies and using the findings to inform program design and implementation.

The Future of Logic Models: Logic Models in 3D with Discussion Group Leaders, Isaac D Castillo and Elizabeth Grim

The time has come for us to break out of our two dimensional representations of programmatic interventions. We need to re-think representations of program interventions and explore how logic models can be crafted in three dimensions (3D) to better respond to the evolving and dynamic nature of our programs and society.
