Steps to doing Gender-based Analysis Plus
There are 5 steps to complete in the GBA Plus process, and it is important to consider the following across all steps: documentation, data and information, communication, and bias awareness (which includes, challenging assumptions).
At the core of the process is an analysis of intersectionality: Each step is informed by the impact of social identity factors interacting with each other, and with group membership, institutional power and systems of power.
