Items related to Gender Planning and Development: Theory, Practice and...
Gender planning is a new tradition whose goal is to ensure that women, through empowering themselves, achieve equality and equity with men in developing societies. This text focuses on the inter-relationship between gender and development, the formulation of gender policy and the implementation of gender planning practice. Its importance relates to the fact that current development policy, because of incorrect assumptions, often, if inadvertently, discriminates against or "misses" women, while even correctly formulated policy too often fails to get translated into practice. Recent feminist theories and current debates on women, gender and development provide the conceptual rationale for key principles of gender planning. These relate to gender roles and needs, to control over resources and decision-making within the household, and to Third World policy approaches to women in development. From extensive research and teaching experience in gender planning, Caroline Moser shows how such principles are translated into methodological procedures, tools and techniques that are integrated into a gender planning process.
