Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence
The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Querido Pablo:
Gracias por compartir esta información. Estoy segura que de esta comunidad van a salir otras buenas historias de evaluaciones con enfoque de género que hayan marcado una diferencia.
Animaremos también al grupo EvalGénero para que compartan sus experiencias en español.
Muchos saludos. Fabiola
Hi Pablo,
Thanks for sharing. I am interested to know the process followed for distilling the lessons from the stories. As we know context varies from place to place, how do you think the lessons can be practically used.
Warmly,
Rituu
Dear Rituu, the process was a long and quite interesting one. In one hand, we had several internal discussions, which were extremely rich and interesting (both because of the richness of the stories, and also for the great evaluation experience of most of the members of our team). On the other hand, we began sharing some initial thoughts in evaluation conferences, and there we received extra suggestions and refinements of our initial thoughts.
In that sense, it is useful to think about these lessons as principles, and not rigid rules. For instance, although I am (as well as you ;-) a strong supporter and advocate of participation of the stakeholders in the process of evaluation, ¿should we think that the only and exclusive path for an evaluation with impact is through participatory evaluation?
So, connected with that idea that these lessons are actually principles to guide the design and practice of evaluation, they should be adapted and adopted in each evaluation.
best,
Pablo
Qué interesante Pablo y en definitiva una motivación para seguir identificando de manera participativa y colaborativa esos factores de éxito que hacen que las evaluaciones tengan un impacto de mejora en la vida de las personas y el cambio social! En esto se resume el reto de que las evaluaciones "hagan la diferencia". Sigamos este intercambio, motivamos a tod@s a participar!
