This guide is designed to help USAID agriculture officers better incorporate gender issues into solicitations and their technical evaluation. It is not an exhaustive presentation of the myriad gender issues that may affect a given project. It is not intended to cover all questions an agriculture officer might have, nor is it intended to be applied verbatim as a template. The level of specificity and types of information included in the procurement document depend on the type of instrument selected and is context-specific. It is therefore important to coordinate early on with the contracting/agreement officer and work closely throughout to ensure that you are meeting the needs of your specific contract/ agreements.
