Socio-Economic and Gender Analysis (SAEGA) for emergency and rehabilitation programmes

The main objective of these FAO guidelines is for mainstreaming gender analysis throughout the emergency response sequence, to ensure that humanitarian assistance is more effective.

The specific objectives of the guidelines are to:

• review basic principles and concepts of emergency response
• introduce basic gender-based planning tools applicable to emergency-situations
• identify how gender is a relevant factor in natural disasters and complex emergencies
• strengthen the planning role of key partners and stakeholders in the emergency context.

The key issues to be analyzed include: risk and vulnerability, food security and livelihoods, needs assessments, beneficiary targeting, planning, partnerships, procurement, logistics, information and data, as well as monitoring and evaluation.
