It is the duty of both the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Nordic Committee of Senior Officials for Agricultural and Forestry Affairs (NEJS) to promote gender equality in the way they allocate resources. These notes are designed to guide users and decision-makers through the process of conducting gender and equality analysis of projects and initiatives. The notes cover issues and questions which it is hoped will prove relevant and useful when evaluating the gender perspective of such projects and the consequences for gender equality within them. The issues highlighted in these notes are based on, and follow the logic of, a method of analysis called the '3R method' - representation, resources and rights. The 3R method is described in greater detail at the end of this document.
