[Below is the alternative text description of the flowchart for Feminist Intersectional Livelihoods Analysis (FILA).]
The flowchart begins with the three pillars (left to right) of Commitments, Methods, and Outcomes.
(Left, Top Row): The Commitments listed are Reflexivity, Inclusive Practices, Intersectionality, Civil Society Partners (CSOs), and Transformative Insights.
(Left, Middle Row): Underneath Commitments, there are two categories: Within Team and With Participants. 1. Within the team, the commitments are to include women with disabilities, provide supports for inclusion, provide resources to civil society partners, and reflect regularly as individuals and team. 2. With participants, the commitments are to include a diversity of women with disabilities, provide supports for inclusion and accessibility, and provide childcare and livelihood supports.
(Left, Bottom Row): One box for good ideas is connected to both Within Team and With Participants. The good ideas are to use a demographic questionnaire and matrix to recruit participants, hold disability-specific groups—e.g. Deaf, Autistic—in addition to cross-impairment groups.
(Centre, Top Row): The Methods listed are Collaborative, Reciprocity, Respect for diverse ways of knowing and being, and Different types of knowledge.
(Centre, Middle Row): Underneath Methods, there are two stages: Data Collection and Data Analysis. 1. Under Data Collection are the questions: How do you hope to survive and thrive? What livelihoods options are possible? What shapes your decisions about livelihoods? What do you do to achieve livelihood? How do you survive and thrive? 2. Under Data Analysis are the questions: What are the barriers and facilitators? For Whom? What livelihoods bring joy? How do lived experiences shape livelihood choices? Any cascading or cumulative barriers? How does policy shape livelihoods? What silences in policy exist? For Whom? What are the implications of silences?
(Centre, Bottom Row): One box for good ideas is connected to both Data Collection and Data Analysis. The good ideas are to include intersectionality as part of data analysis, and host collaborative data analysis sessions with CSO partners.
(Right, Top Row): The Outcomes listed are Policy Impacts, Transformational change, Inclusion of those most often invisible or marginalized, and Accountable to those who contributed.
(Right, Middle Row): Underneath Outcomes, there are two aspects: Policy Engagement and Knowledge Mobilization. 1. Under Policy Engagement, the outcomes are to build engagement strategy with CSOs; build relationships with policy makers early and on-going to learn what they need; and create policy products relevant in form and content to audience. 2. Under Knowledge Mobilization, the outcomes are accessible knowledge products, including in clear language; and create knowledge products relevant to participants.
(Right, Bottom Row): One box for good ideas is connected to both Policy Engagement and Knowledge Mobilization. The good ideas are to host a policy forum with CSOs to share learnings and to use multiple knowledge products to reach different audiences.
