%X Time use survey is one of the fundamental, and most widely employed, research tools used to bring a
gender perspective to project planning. However, narrow interpretations of time use data can distort the
understanding of how project-induced time use changes affect women and men’s well-being. This paper argues
that the application of some of the central concepts of the capability approach can strengthen the scope of time
use survey as a gendered planning tool, drawing on the example of the “Alliances” rural economic
development project Georgia.
