Bodhi developed a Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI) for Somalia with the WFP. The study looked at women's empowerment in terms of decision making, access to resources, income control, leadership and time use. It also calculated the Gender Parity Index (GPI) to indicate the percentage of women who are as empowered as men in their household and produced empowerment scores along with qualitative and quantitative data on women's engagement in agriculture to feed into recommendations for gender transformative programming. Using the WEAI framework and a gender sensitive mixed methods approach the findings have directly informed the design and implementation of WFP's gender transformative Climate-smart Food Systems Strategy. The study has thus been a key input into the design of WFP's gender transformative Climate-smart Food Systems Strategy.
