The purpose of the Gender Analysis Toolkit is to provide research questions to guide data collection when performing a project-level gender analysis. The Toolkit provides illustrative questions related to the five domains described in United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Automated Directive System (ADS) 205, which are:

1) Laws, regulations, and institutional practices;

2) Cultural norms and beliefs;

3) Gender roles, responsibilities, and time used;

4) Access to and control over assets and resources; and

5) Patterns of power and decision-making.
