Synopsis (short abstract) The purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual and methodological framework that integrates a gender perspective into the analysis of farming systems. The aim is to produce a reference guide for future rural development programmes and projects. The first part of the study reviews systems and gender analysis within the agricultural context. The second part reviews the experiences of the Nicaraguan project “Strengthening the Capacity of Women in the Management of Small-scale Farm Production Units” (GCP/NIC/020/NOR). It sets out to identify the methodological findings, including the advantages and disadvantages, emanating from that project’s valuable experience, rather than to carry out an actual evaluation of the project.
