The proposed measures for these indicators have been developed with the aim of being applicable across the extremely broad scope of CARE’s programming, and as such, careful consideration has gone into the simplicity of their design. The piloting of these measures will allow us to reflect on whether these measures are appropriate, feasible, and applicable across multiple contexts; and whether the data resulting from them is useful and able to be used to scale across CARE’s programming.

Indicator #1: Average total # and proportion of weekly hours spent on unpaid domestic and care work, by sex, age and location (for individuals five years and above)
< Recognising the time intensive nature of doing a comprehensive time analysis, one adaptation to consider if this is not a possibility is a card-sorting exercise. This can be used to highlight the activities that take the greatest amount of time for each group.
To do so, have a set of cards - on each card have a picture of an activity (eg. collecting water, drinking tea, taking care of the children). Ask participants to choose and rank the top 5 cards according to how much time they spend doing these activities in an average day.
Use qualitative methods to investigate key points of interest that arise out of this exercise.
Indicator #2: % of individuals reporting high self-efficacy (SADD)
Despite the challenges that exist in your life, think about one self-defined goal you would like to achieve in your personal life over the next year.
How confident are you that you could achieve this goal in your personal life?
(1. Not at all confident, 2. Somewhat confident, 3. Fairly confident, 4 Very confident, 5 Extremely confident)
MEASURES FOR HUMANITARIAN
# How confident are you that you could access education services?
# How confident are you that you could access health services without permission if you were ill?
# How confident are you that you could leave your home without permission?
# How confident are you that you could negotiate with your husband about when to be intimate with him? (Ask only to married women)
# How confident are you that you could negotiate with your parents about getting married, if you did not want to? (Ask only to unmarried women above 14 years old)
(1. Not at all confident, 2. Somewhat confident, 3. Fairly confident 4 Very confident, 5- extremely confident)
Indicator #3: # of countries with laws and regulations that guarantee women aged 15-49 years access to sexual and reproductive health care, information and education
Indicator 3 is not being piloted as it is a standard indicator already in use.
Indicator 4: % of individuals who report confidence in their negotiation and communication skills (SADD)
How confident do you feel that you can:
# Negotiate for your needs with the head of household
# Negotiate for your needs within external forums and structures (eg. local council, NGOs, markets, government, service providers)
# Negotiate for your wants with the head of household
# Negotiate for your wants within external forums and structures (eg. local council, NGOs, markets, government, service providers)
(1. Not at all confident, 2. Somewhat confident, 3. Fairly confident 4 Very confident, 5- extremely confident)
To note:
* In displacement situations, “external forums and structures” can be replaced by community leader. -
* If the person being asked is the head of household, do not ask 1 or 3
Indicator 5: % of respondents who report gender equitable attitudes (GEM Scale)
How strongly do you agree with the following statements: 1. Changing diapers, giving a bath, and feeding kids is the woman’s responsibility 2. A woman's main role responsibility is taking care of her home and family. 3. The husband should decide to buy the major household items. 4. A man should have the final word about decisions in his home. 5. A woman should obey her husband in all things. (1 agree, 2 partially agree, and 3 do not agree) (High scores represent high support for gender equitable norms. Certain items were reverse scored if a high score would reflect low support for gender equity. Responses to each item were summed.)
MEASURES FOR HUMANITARIAN 1. How has your role in the household changed from before the crisis until now? 2. Do you feel this change in household roles has been positive or negative for you? (1. Very negative, 2. Negative, 3. Neutral, 4 Positive, 5- Very positive) 3. Do you have more help with your workload? Yes / No
