Project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index for Market Inclusion (Pro-WEAI+MI): Philippines Case Study

The project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index for market inclusion (pro-WEAI+MI) is a modified version of the pro-WEAI that captures empowerment across commodity value chains (VC), VC actors, and beneficiaries of VC/training interventions. This dataset from the Philippines is the first of four country case studies that developed additional market inclusion (+MI) indicators to complement the pro-WEAI. The Philippines case study focused on women and men working in production, processing, trading, and marketing in the abaca, coconut, seaweed, and swine VCs. Using a purposive sampling design, survey data were collected in March–August 2017 in six provinces in the Bicol and Visayas regions of the Philippines. Data on each VC was collected in two provinces, selected based on presence of production and processing activities. Abaca and coconut data were collected initially in Sorsogon and Leyte, and additional survey areas were added in Albay and Southern Leyte to reach target sample sizes. Seaweed and swine data were collected in Bohol and Cebu. This data package includes the pro-WEAI+MI questions implemented in the Philippines, basic household and demographic information, and constructed pro-WEAI and +MI indicators.

面向市场包容的项目级农业女性赋权指数（project-level Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index for market inclusion, pro-WEAI+MI）是pro-WEAI的改良版本，能够全面评估商品价值链（value chains, VC）、价值链参与主体以及价值链/培训干预项目受益群体的赋权水平。本次发布的菲律宾数据集是四项国家案例研究的首个成果，该系列研究新增了市场包容（+MI）指标以补充pro-WEAI的评估维度。菲律宾案例研究聚焦于蕉麻、椰子、海藻及生猪价值链中从事生产、加工、贸易与营销环节的女性与男性从业者。研究采用目的性抽样设计，于2017年3月至8月在菲律宾比科尔（Bicol）与米沙鄢（Visayas）地区的六个省份完成问卷调查数据采集。每个价值链的数据均在两个具备对应生产与加工活动的省份采集：蕉麻与椰子价值链的数据最初在索索贡（Sorsogon）和莱特（Leyte）两省采集，后为达到目标样本量，又在阿尔拜（Albay）和南莱特（Southern Leyte）两省增设了调查区域；海藻与生猪价值链的数据则采集自保和（Bohol）与宿务（Cebu）两省。本数据包包含菲律宾本土化实施的pro-WEAI+MI调查问卷题目、基础家庭与人口统计信息，以及已构建完成的pro-WEAI与+MI指标。
