This document represents a working draft that encapsulates the initial findings from the Rapid Gender Analyses (RGA) conducted in Kalinga and Negros Oriental provinces. RGA is an interactive process that incorporates more information as it becomes available. The analyses and recommendations are based on the data and observations collected during the initial phase of the study.

Currently, we are awaiting the completion of the RGA for North Cotabato and Zamboanga del Norte. The findings from these additional provinces will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the gender dynamics and disparities across the studied areas. Consequently, the final report may include significant updates and modifications to the information contained in the initial report.

This working document’s purpose is to share the preliminary results with stakeholders, enabling them to provide feedback and contribute to the ongoing analysis. We encourage all recipients to review the findings critically and offer insights that may enhance the accuracy and relevance of the final report.

Please be advised that the data presented here should not be used as a basis for decision-making until the full analysis is complete. Any use of the information in this draft should be made with the understanding that it is part of an evolving study.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work towards delivering a thorough and accurate gender analysis that will inform future initiatives and interventions in these provinces. Thank you for your continued support and collaboration in this important endeavor.

For any inquiries or further information regarding this document or the ongoing analysis, please do not hesitate to contact the project team.
