Gender analysis of the plastics and plastic waste sectors in Ghana
Last updated: Mar 21, 2022
Summary
Use of Harvard Analytical Framework for Gender Analysis to identify the gender roles and responsibilities of men and women along the value chain.
Problem
- There are more women in the informal segment of the plastics supply chain than men (pickers).
- Roles such as machine operators, drivers, riders, janitors, and procurement are heavily skewed towards men. As are management positions and decision-makers in regulatory authorities.
- Washers and sorters and cash collectors are skewed towards women
Solution
Women as market actors, as workers, as regulators, as end users, as community members.
