Abstract
Purpose
The research aimed to study the effects of participatory gender analysis.
Design/methodology/approach
This occurred within a community-based education project that was implemented in Ugandan Acholiland after the return from the displacement camps at the end of the civil war. The chapter describes the approach and analyses the impact.
Findings
Such analysis was shown to be very effective but this does not mean the community has been completely transformed.
Practical and social implications
Nevertheless, it shows the importance of participatory gender analysis for sociocultural transformation at community level.
Originality/value
This chapter makes a contribution to the literature on the use of participatory gender analysis in the global south.
