| Summary: | Tool 5 in the Gender Transformative Research Methodologies Toolkit.
The original version of PICSA is implemented by facilitators (e.g., extension officers, non-governmental organisation field staff, community volunteers and researchers) through a series of meetings with groups of farmers to work through various decision-making tools: agroclimatic calendars, crop, livestock and livelihood option matrices and participatory budgets. The gender-transformative adaptations proposed integrate gender and social considerations in the selection of options; facilitate reflection about the distribution of resources and tasks; integrate and recognize local and traditional knowledge regarding weather and climate. Through engendering PICSA’s decision-making tools gender-responsive and gender-transformative change is expected.
Focus on individuals, households, and organizations.
