DW Angola — Luanda Peri-Urban Household Gender Profile 2001 - 2002
Luanda Peri-Urban Household Gender Profile 2001 - 2002
This section is a part of:
Research The research for this Gender and Household Profile was carried out by Development Workshop with financial assistance and methodological advice from UNICEF Angola. DW, who has been working in Angola since 1981, has successfully implemented programmes in Luanda and Huambo peri-urban areas to improve access to basic services, build local partnerships and strengthen organisational skills of the communities by giving them experience in engaging with local government.
The study provides DW and its partners (such as UNICEF) with a better understanding of gender issues in the peri-urban bairros of Luanda. This profile aims to present findings from research on the living conditions of households, both those headed by women and by men, in Luanda peri-urban areas, paying particular attention to children’s human development. Special attention in this profile is given to gender: there is a need to assess whether the impoverishment process is affecting women and men the same way, and if there is any association between female household headship and transmission of disadvantages to children.
The overall objective of this study was to generate empirical data on the situation of children in different household types, and to improve the understanding of the living conditions of households headed by women and men in Luanda peri-urban area. The findings presented in this profile should provide DW (and local and international partners such as UNICEF) with insights for addressing gender issues in their existing and future development interventions in peri-urban areas.
