Synopsis

One of the most effective ways to ensure increased and sustainable development in Africa is through the improvement of African women's skills and ensuring their access to tools such as credit, training and technology. Understanding and supporting the potentialities of African women in the context of globalisation is crucial to the future of Africa's economic development. However, political, legal and cultural impediments to women's full participation remain in place in many African countries. This book aims to become a policy manual for rectifying this situation.

Synopsis

A MANIFESTO FOR UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING THE POTENTIALITIES OF AFRICAN WOMEN The first book of its kind to analyse and bring to the forefront of policy making the linkages between globalisation and the role of women in development in Africa. The most effective way to ensure increased and sustainable development in Africa is through the improvement of African women's skills and by ensuring they receive access to tools such as credit, training and technology. Understanding and supporting the potential of African women in the context of the new economic realities facing Africa is crucial to the future of the continent's economic development. However, political, legal and cultural impediments to women's full participation in economic and political life remain in place in many African countries. The essays collected in WOMEN IN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT put an emphasis on practical solutions to these issues. It aims to become a policy manual that will help disseminate strategies, conclusions and recommendations to NGOs, national and international government agencies, businesses, women's groups, international educational organisations and academic institutions.
