A. Analysis of gender gaps and inequalities related to the ff:

1. Gender roles –
a. What are the assignments and
responsibilities of men and women
and how does it become a problem
or concern for them?
b. How does this assignment of roles
and responsibilities result to gender
gaps/inequalities?
As male/female recipient
- Men handled such physical
activities such as toolmaking,
warfare, canoe building and
navigation and off-shore fishing.
Women took care of the
household, did weaving, food
preparation, pottery making and
inshore fishing. It becomes a
problem later when women also
wanted to do works that men do
and wanted equal treatment with
men.
- - It results to gaps/inequalities in
a way that men get special
treatment than women when it
comes to certain things because
they argue that they did harder
and more taxing work than
women.
2. Gender needs –
a) What are the practical gender needs
(i.e water, light, food etc.) (these
relates to welfare) – these needs
often pertain to inadequacies in
living conditions such as lack of safe
water, health care and employment.
b) Responses to practical gender
needs are concerned with easing
women’s multiple burden (home,
employment, community obligations)
and supporting women in their
maternal functions. They also
include health care, nutrition
services, housing projects and the
delivery of other basic services.
c) What are the strategic gender needs
- (i.e representation in political
leadership positions or management
committee) (these refers to
participation and control issues) of
women and men that the program
and project will address?
d) Strategic gender needs recognize
women’s subordinate and
marginalized status in the society.
They exist within particular socio-
political contexts. In meeting theses
needs, the objectives may be
abolishing the gender division of
labor, alleviate the burden of child
care and domestic work, remove
institutionalized forms of
discrimination, achieve freedom of
choice for child bearing, and adopt
measures to fight violence against
women and male control over them,
among others. Addressing strategic
- The practical gender needs of
women and men are almost the
same, the difference would be
the personal hygiene of the
women that is different than men
but mostly it is actually the same,
and also there are cases in
health care that women are
prioritized that men and in
employment, there is a case that
some wants women for
employment and others also
want men for employment.
- - Help the women in their burden
such as doing household chores
and other obligation which a man
can do, then he should do it to
help the other.
- The strategic gender needs
would be the equal rights for men
and women in running in all
political positions and also the
right to be heard in any
suggestions that both genders
suggest.
- Promote the gender equality
since almost all things that men
does can also be accomplished
by women especially in the
workplace and also in domestic
work so there is particularly no
reason for gender division
among the two.
3. Perspectives –

a) What do women and men think and

feel about their gender roles and
how do these perspectives affect
their relationship and the way they
access available resources and
opportunities?

b) How do their current belief and

perspectives about the gender roles
of women and men results to gender
gaps/inequalities? X`

- As far as I have experienced in

this academy, the role of men
and women is technically the
same since all of us are treated
equal in this institution because
we are treated to act in a military
manner.
- There is slight inequality in a way
that in this academy, women are
seldom tasked to do heavy work
such as lifting heavy stuffs.

4. Access to and control of
resources

a. What are the resources available to - Actually, almost all or all

women and men? resource are available to both
men and women since there is
technically no difference at all
except their personal needs such
as hygienic stuff.
b. How do women and men access - - They access it the same way
resources? and the normal way.

- Both genders have equal control

c. Who has more control over over these resources since both
resources? genders have equal rights.

- The gap and inequality that I

d. What are the gaps and inequalities
that women and men experience as
regards access and control over
resources?
e. What contribute to the perpetuation
of these gaps and inequalities?
noticed and observed would be
when men use force to gain
advantage over women to
access resources and women
use their gender to get
advantage to access and control
resources over men.
- It would be the mindset of each
men and women that
perpetuates these gaps and
inequalities.

B. Analysis of constraints and opportunities related to women and men
participation in the program/project:

As male/female recipient
1. Constraints

a. What are the identified constraints
related to women and men’s
participation in the implementation
of the program/project?
- The constraints would be when the
application is also partly affected
by political stuff such as backers
that hinders the participation of
 both men and women

2. Opportunities

a. What are the opportunities

available to women and men and
how could this contribute to their
participation in the implementation
of the program/project?
- The opportunities lies on those
who believe and wants to serve
the country as a member of the
reserve command and also
depending on their experience in
their past profession that could
give them a boost in their
participation.
