ABSTRACT
The goal of the Project for Building Capacity in Social and Gender Analysis (SAGA) was to build capacity and generate innovative practices and methods that demonstrate the value-added of social and gender analysis methods in action-oriented and transformative research. The SAGA project has provided an opportunity for researchers to build skills with participatory methods, especially those that are used in social analysis systems (SAS). Over a two-year period (2010–11) a team of professors and graduate students from the National Agrarian Institute of Morocco located in Meknes carried out a multi-part study on the role of women in the management, use and marketing of aromatic and medicinal plants in the village of Maâmar in the middle atlas province of Khénifra.
