Original brochure. Condition: Gut. 112 p. From the estate of Gerd Winkelhane (1949-2018), head of the Klaus Schwarz Verlag from 1989. - A very good copy. - Foreword: This document was written in 2000 as part of a consultancy that Marta Colburn undertook for Oxfam (GB) in Yemen to analyze the situation of Gender and Development in Yemen. The purpose of the analysis was to identify critical issues on gender, which would help to inform development organizations including Oxfam and would be helpful to devise program strategies. The methodology used was to review existing information and literature as well as carry out interviews with a large number of women and men from different walks of life, from rural and urban areas, representing different needs and interests, as well as those working at different levels from grassroots to policy and national level. We are grateful to Ms. Marta Colburn for preparing the document, which has been subsequently updated by her for the current publication. The analysis is based on the author's interpretation. This book synthesizes a tremendous amount of research from a wide range of perspectives, sectors and disciplines. It is designed to stimulate discussion and broaden understanding of gender issues among a wide range of development actors. In that spirit this book is meant to contribute to the discourse as well as the state of practice on gender and development in Yemen. ISBN 3898921301 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.…
