Unless gender issues was kept on the mind of all project key staff we could not close the gender gap.
At the institutional level: It is good the availability of gender specialist within project key staff, also we need to mobilize the project key staff to tackle gender issues seriously, their terms of reference should include their promotion for gender mainstreaming in policy and programme implementation processes.
At the community level: To enhance business skills for rural women and girls we need to train them on (market information, negotiation skills, bargaining skills and decision making), they will be prepared to be engage with private sectors.
