Questions

The correct answer and its explanation are shown together here so you can check them at a glance - neither is ever shown to a learner attempting the quiz, right or wrong.

  1. 1. Which of these is a meaningful GSI indicator?

    • Number of women who attended a meeting
    • Change in who holds a decision-making role after an interventionCorrect
    • Number of leaflets distributed
    • Number of consultations held

    Attendance measures who showed up, not whether anything changed. A meaningful indicator tracks a real shift - access, role or resource control.

  2. 2. Why is a single, centrally held public meeting often exclusionary?

    • It is too expensive to organise
    • It assumes the attendee is free at that time and placeCorrect
    • It requires too much paperwork
    • It reduces attendance overall

    A weekday afternoon meeting at a district office assumes the attendee does not have paid or unpaid care responsibilities at that hour - an unexamined assumption, not a deliberate exclusion.

  3. 3. What makes a GSI requirement operationally meaningful, rather than a wish?

    • It uses the word 'inclusive'
    • It is attached to a specific, checkable decision pointCorrect
    • It appears in the plan's introduction
    • It is signed by a senior official

    'Gender considerations will be taken into account' commits nobody to anything; a checkable requirement attached to a specific decision - like a panel composition rule - actually changes what happens.

  4. 4. What should happen after a consultation surfaces an exclusion finding?

    • Nothing, until the next full review
    • A visible response, even if partialCorrect
    • The finding should be removed from the report
    • A new consultation should be held immediately

    A community that raises an issue and sees no visible response learns not to raise it again. The response does not need to be complete, but it needs to be visible.

Written questions

Optional - a lecture is complete without any. Add two-to-three sentence explanation questions where the multiple-choice quiz cannot tell whether an idea actually landed - as soon as one exists, a learner must pass it at 70%, the same platform-wide mark as the quiz, before the next lecture opens.

  1. 1. In two or three sentences: why is 'number of women attending' a weak GSI indicator even though it is easy to measure?

    attendshowed upaccessdecision-making

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: 'Number of women who attend' is easy to count and measures almost nothing about whether anything changed for them. A meaningful indicator tracks access, decision-making role or resource control, not who simply showed up.

  2. 2. In two or three sentences: why is setting a baseline before an intervention starts the most important and most skipped step?

    baselinebeforedefensibleskipped

    2 of 4 have to appear to pass.

    Model answer: An indicator without a baseline can only ever report a number, never a change. Setting the baseline before the intervention starts is the most commonly skipped step, and the one that makes every later report defensible.
