A page of photographs captioned 'women participants' is the most common form GSI reporting takes and the least informative. This closing lecture rebuilds a real GSI report around outcome indicators instead - what changed, for whom, against the baseline set earlier in this module - and shows what the photograph-led version was actually hiding.

Report GSI inside the sector result, not beside it

A GSI report filed separately from the sector's main results reads as a compliance exercise. Presented inside the same report - this is what the irrigation scheme delivered, and this is who it reached - GSI reporting reads as part of judging whether the scheme worked at all, which is the point.
