Gender transformative approaches (GTAs) aim to create lasting development outcomes by addressing the underlying causes of poverty and gender inequality. GTAs analyze how social factors like caste, class and gender affect people's positions in value chains. They then identify strategies to foster beneficial change for marginalized groups. Implementing GTAs requires designing projects with gender experts, forming partnerships with gender organizations, and building staff capacity on gender issues. The goal is inclusive, sustainable transformations that provide equitable opportunities for poor women and men.
