Name	Source	Description
Mapping Drivers of Poverty	CARE-ECARMU: Program Design Workshops (D Pinault)	Aggregating the findings of situational analysis, this tool maps drivers of poverty across agency/structures/relations along with immediate/intermediate/underlying causes of poverty to prioritize key considerations for program design.
Benefits-Harms Design Tool	CARE Benefits-Harms Handbook (P O'Brien)	Helps programmers move from understanding an opportunity or problem to acting on it, as well as identify the constraints to action, both internally (within an organization or project) and externally (in the outside world).
Portfolio Review	CARE-SAA Toolkit	Works with a small team to creatively about how to integrate gender and sexuality into current projects and programs.
Gender Continuum	CARE-SAA Toolkit	Helps staff analyze their own approaches toward women's empowerment, across agency, structures and relations.
Program Principles Analysis	CARE-SAA Toolkit	Helps staff understand the relevance of CARE International’s Programming Principles to their work and measure how our work addresses deeper social and cultural issues.
Design Analysis	CARE-SII (M Picard)	Explores the extent to which CARE projects incorporate rights-based approaches – with a focus on women’s empowerment - in design.
Promising Practices Inquiry	CARE-SII (V Vaughn)	Examines strategies and interventions, their relationship with broader trends as well as changes around women’s empowerment (agency, structures and relations) to capture key lessons and promising approaches to supporting women’s empowerment.
