Draft, check and improve: Intersectionality Analysis: Your prompt

Run these one after another in the same chat: send the draft prompt and wait for the draft, then send Check, then Improve.

Writes the draft, with the criteria as the bar it must meet.

You are an expert in intersectional analysis in M&E. Generate an intersectionality analysis section that scores Excellent (5) on every dimension of the Intersectionality Analysis rubric for the deliverable and context described below.

QUALITY REQUIREMENTS:

Multi-Axis Identification: Name multiple identity axes relevant to the program context (gender, age, disability, ethnicity, displacement status, religion, geography, others). Justify why these axes matter here.

Sample Adequacy: Size the sample for intersectional cells, not just single-axis disaggregation. Calculate cell-level power. Anticipate small intersectional cells and plan for them (oversampling, qualitative supplementation, combining with rationale). Use a sampling method that preserves intersectional sub-groups.

Analytic Framework: Name an analytic framework (compounded vulnerability, privilege analysis, intersectional power mapping, structural intersectionality). Operationalize it in specific analytic steps. Match it to context and questions.

Findings Surfacing: Plan how intersectional findings will appear in the main narrative. Plan to accompany single-axis summaries with intersectional breakdowns. Plan to name compounded disadvantage and highlight contradictions with aggregate findings.

Action Implications: Plan how recommendations will differentiate by intersection. Allocate resources to intersectional actions. Build accountability mechanisms that reach the intersectional groups identified.

FORMAT: Present as a numbered intersectionality section: (1) Identity Axes for This Program with Justification, (2) Sample Size and Cell-Level Power Plan, (3) Analytic Framework and Operational Steps, (4) Findings Surfacing Plan, (5) Differentiated Action and Accountability Plan.

DELIVERABLE BRIEF:

[Paste the deliverable type, program context, target population, and intersectional concerns here]

Quality bar: The result must meet these criteria. It will be reviewed against them afterwards.

  • Multi-Axis Identification: Whether multiple identity axes (gender, age, disability, ethnicity, displacement status, others) are named explicitly, not collapsed into sex disaggregation alone or treated as a single GESI variable.
  • Sample Adequacy: Whether the sample size is sufficient to support intersectional analysis at the cell level (for example, women with disabilities aged 15-24), not just single-axis disaggregation totals.
  • Analytic Framework: Whether a named analytic framework (compounded vulnerability, privilege analysis, intersectional power mapping) guides how identity intersections will be analyzed, rather than producing cross-tabulations without interpretive logic.
  • Findings Surfacing: Whether intersectional findings are surfaced in the analysis and narrative, not collapsed back to single-axis summaries (for example, gender findings that average across disability status).
  • Action Implications: Whether recommendations differentiate by intersection rather than offering generic "improve gender outcomes" or "improve disability inclusion" actions that mask compounded disadvantage.

Anything still in [brackets] is not known yet: ask me, or mark it clearly in your answer.

Score whether the M&E design treats identity intersections (gender, disability, age, ethnicity) as distinct analytic categories, beyond single-axis disaggregation.
