3. Methodology

A highly participatory women & youth-lead approach

Part I a) Rapid selection methodology

Windward and Helen's Daughters: input data and case studies and support, ensure consistency across countries
Playback and engagement with SAC team: for additional inputs and support
1. Rapid Sub-Sector Screening 2. Further sub-sector selection 3. Final sub sector selection
(Many to 10 sectors) (10 to 4 sectors) (4 to 2 sectors)
High level data, production, market Weighted matrix criteria with focus Expanded weighted considerations
and gender feasibility review on gender and climate probing deeper into all criteria
(tab 3) WUSC Grid (tab 4): Expanded Grid (tab 5)
• High level data review • More data • Inputs from organisations
• Local Knowledge • Local Knowledge • Inputs from value-chain actors
• Case studies/ Common sense • Inputs from some stakeholders • Regional synergies (if any)
