6. The gender dimension of access and controlThe degree of access and control over resources depends to a large extent on the status of the individual: The higher the status in the family, the community, and the society is, the higher the access to and control over resources. The lower the status, the more limited the access and control over resources will be.

9. Why this information is importantWhat do people need to be productive? To be financially secure? To be safe? To be resilient? To be healthy? People who can easily access those resources are more likely to be safe, resilient, and financially secure.People who have no control over those resources depend on others more, have less capacity to respond to crisis, and are more vulnerable to hardship and violence.
10. Why this information is importantAnalysing access and control over resources informs us about gender inequalities In most cases where women have less access to and limited control over productive resources, they are less financially secure, and less safe, which makes them more vulnerable to poverty and violence. The level of access to and control over resources depends on people’s status. The higher the status in the family, community and society, the greater the access to and control over resources will be.
11. Evaluation questionsExplain the differences between accessing resources and controlling resources.Explain what difference it makes if someone controls a resource instead of just accessing it.
12. Evaluation questionsWhat is the difference between accessing resources and controlling resources?When someone accesses something, she or he controls it automatically.Accessing a resource gives benefits, and controlling those resources means that a person can do as they wish with those resources.If a person is the primary user of a resource, she or he is obviously the one controlling this resource.‘Accessing’ a resource means making use of this resource while ‘controlling’ a resource means deciding on who can use the resource and how.
13. Evaluation questionsWhat difference does it make if someone controls a resource instead of just accessing it?It secures the right the person has of using this resource and its benefits.It does not make any difference.It empowers the person.The resource cannot be taken away.
