We recently completed a qualitative research project in rural Malawi in an effort to grasp the experiences of women and girls when road construction projects bring labor influx into host communities. The study is based on 28 focus group discussions with people living in communities that hosted the projects, including male and female road workers, as well as key informant interviews with road agency staff, traditional leaders, secondary school principals, and local social services. This blog captures the main lessons from the methodology and approaches that were used, recognizing the context and sensitivities surrounding the associated impacts.
