The impact of the intervention on some targeted groups (youth, women, persons with disabilities, socioeconomically vulnerable groups) will be specifically measured during monitoring and evaluation, namely involving employment in the different processes of food value chains and access to credit. Guinea-Bissau's Gini Coefficient was last recorded in 2018, resulting in a total of 34.8 (where a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality). Although there is no specific data, urban versus rural inequality is to be considered; the lack of infrastructure and access to basic services in the rural areas has an important impact on social and economic development. As explained in the CLIP for Guinea-Bissau, gender inequality is based on various social, cultural and institutional factors. For example there are clear differences in figures between women and men in employment, income, mortality, school drop-out and in the number of women occupying appointive and elective positions within the Government. Inequalities, including gender-based, are worsened by challenges such as limited resources, political instability, and governance issues."}, {"bbox": [97, 1079, 210, 1105], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Democracy"}, {"bbox": [97, 1117, 1134, 1304], "category": "Text", "text": "The action will promote participatory approaches within value chains, by supporting the strengthening of public-private dialogue and stimulating the role of civil society organisations.
