Case Study Three: Gender-Responsive Action for the Transformation of Women (GREAT Women) Project

Case Study One – The Gender-Responsive Action for the Transformation of Women (GREAT Women) Project

Priority issue(s) and target group(s) relevant for WEE covered







Informal Sector Employment

Microentrepreneurs

Women in micro enterprise

women migrant workers

PCW rationalized that WEE contributes to poverty reduction, reduces social disparities due to gender, facilitates the fulfillment of women’s economic rights and attainment of economic security, and assists in the fulfillment of the country’s international treaty obligations. To support this, 2006 data were presented showing that the bulk of the poor in the Philippines was composed of women--about 12.8 million. In business, 95% of micro enterprises involved women as owners and/or managers who lackedaccess to economic resources to grow their business, suffered from limiting and(to be continued on next slide…)


Priority issue(s) and target group(s) relevant for WEE covered







Informal employment

Unemployment of women

Women microentrepreneurs and workers

women migrant workers

(continuation…)stereotypical notions of themselves leading to a preference for limited types of business and to remain small. There was also a lack of sex-disaggregated information to allow value-chain analyses that would help identify meaningful actions for women to equally access and benefit from enterprise development programs. Empirical data on entrepreneurial activities of women were not available except for a few profiles made on the informal sector. Microfinance sector studies centered on finance indicators and barely on impacts of microcredit on women’s enterprises.


Targets and Indicators relevant for WEE covered






Improved access to and control of productive resource and benefits by women micro entrepreneurs

Percentage of WMEs accessing government services from national and local agencies

Percentage and overall amount of national/local government resources allocated for gender-responsive PPAs in enterprise development

Level of satisfaction of WMEs on the quality and gender- responsiveness of services provided by the national and local partners.

Target and indicators were determined in consultation with project implementers








Increased effectiveness of PCW in influencing project partners to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate gender responsive and sustainable economic policies, programs and services (PPS), especially those related to micro enterprises

Number of WEE-related policy recommendations adopted and/or implemented by national and local partners

Percentage of national and local partners institutionalizing WEE related tools to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate policies, programs/projects and services

Level of satisfaction of partner agencies with the technical assistance (TA) services provided by PCW

Institutionalization here means adoption and utilization of the tools that include GWP and other PCW developed tools for GAD and WEE in the agency planning, implementing and monitoring processes. The types of WEE tools are identified at the Output level of Intermediate Outcome 100. “Institutionalization” is also manifested by the agency’s issuance of either a memorandum circular, administrative order or related documents providing rationale, objectives and instructions on the use of the tools.








Enhanced performance of national partners to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate gender responsive economic development PPS in the local project sites

Improved provision or delivery by Local Government Units of gender responsive policies, programs and services (P/P/S) to WMEs at the local project sites

Level of gender responsiveness of national agency partners

Number of NGA policies adopted for WEE and GAD mainstreaming within NGAs’ PP

Level of gender responsiveness of LGU P/P/S as measured with the WEE Score Card

Number and types of programs and services made available to WMEs by the support network

Outcomes and impact of national gender-sensitive analysis





Analysis was used for the approval of new projects under GREAT 2 Program.

The convergence and synergy of actors spurred actions to provide women in microenterprises with:• Greater access to information, credit, skills trainings, technology and new markets• Increased participation in high-value economic activities and decision-making in their respective industries and sectors• Better work conditions and zero discriminatory practices, social protection and other safety nets• Better incomes from their enterprises







Results Achieved by the GREAT Women Project:

GREAT Women Project touted as High-Achieving Project

Enhanced capacity development and support network for gender mainstreaming

Increased PCW profile as oversight for WEE

Enhanced PCW Capacities for WEE







Enhanced National Enabling Environment for WEE. Enhanced performance of national partners to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate gender responsiveeconomic PPS in the local project sites were evident in WEE scorecard results.

Enhanced Local Enabling Environment for WEE. Component 3 aimed to build capacities of local government partners on gender mainstreaming to local economic planning and programming and eventually effect gender-responsive local governance. Local partnerships were guided to increase access of women to economic and/or enterprise-related programs and services and improve support services for women and their businesses. GREAT Women developed LGU capacities on various capacity development themes.







Generated results that point to the achievement of ultimate outcome indicators, namely: (1) percentage of WMEs accessing government services from nationaland local agencies, (2) percentage and overall amount of national and local government resources allocated for gender-responsive PPAs in enterprise development, and (3) level of satisfaction of WMEs on the quality and gender-responsiveness of services provided by national and local partners.
