Key messages:
- A gendered political economy analysis explicitly examines how gender and other social inequalities shape people’s access to power and resources and what this means for feasible pathways of pro-poor and equitable change.
- As a practitioner-led, participatory approach, gendered political economy analysis ensures the perspectives of a diversity of women inform the process, findings and use of the analysis.
- This leads to a more holistic understanding of the causes of poverty and inequality and helps practitioners to identify how to support marginalised people to actively change root causes.
