    From WID to GAD: Conceptual Shifts in the Women and Development Discourse Shahrashoub Razavi Carol Miller Occasional Paper 1, February 1995 United Nations Research Institute for Social Development United Nations Development Programme The United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) is an autonomous agency that engages in multi-disciplinary research on the social dimensions of contemporary problems affecting development. Its work is guided by the conviction that, for effective development policies to be formulated, an understanding of the social and political context is crucial. The Institute attempts to provide governments, development agencies, grassroots organizations and scholars with a better understanding of how development policies and processes of economic, social and environmental change affect different social groups. Working through an extensive network of national research centres, UNRISD aims to promote original research and strengthen research capacity in developing countries. Current research themes include Crisis, Adjustment and Social Change; Socio- Economic and Political Consequences of the International Trade in Illicit Drugs; Environment, Sustainable Development and Social Change; Integrating Gender into Development Policy; Participation and Changes in Property Relations in Communist and Post-Communist Societies; and Political Violence and Social Movements. UNRISD research projects focused on the 1995 World Summit for Social Development include Rethinking Social Development in the 1990s; Economic Restructuring and Social Policy; Ethnic Diversity and Public Policies; and The Challenge of Rebuilding War-torn Societies.

  • Introduction to Gender Analysis Concepts and Steps’, Development Bulletin, No
    Hunt, J, 2004. ‘Introduction to gender analysis concepts and steps’, Development Bulletin, no. 64, pp. 100-106. Introduction to gender analysis concepts and steps Juliet Hunt, Independent Consultant Overview During program and project design, gender analysis is the process of assessing the impact that a development activity may have on females and males, and on gender relations (the economic and social relationships between males and females which are constructed and reinforced by social institutions). It can be used to ensure that men and women are not disadvantaged by development activities, to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of activities, or to identify priority areas for action to promote equality between women and men. During implementation, monitoring and evaluation, gender analysis assists to assess differences in participation, benefits and impacts between males and females, including progress towards gender equality and changes in gender relations. Gender analysis can also be used to assess and build capacity and commitment to gender sensitive planning and programming in donor and partner organisations; and to identify gender equality issues and strategies at country, sectoral or thematic programming level. There a number of different frameworks for undertaking gender analysis. Some of these have been developed in Northern countries (Moser 1993; Overholt et al. 1985), and others have been developed and adapted by development practitioners from the South (Parker 1993; Longwe 1991; Kabeer 1994). This article outlines the essential steps that need to be addressed to undertake gender analysis for each of the different levels referred to above, and draws on concepts from a number of different frameworks. Summary of key gender analysis steps 1.

  • Gender Planning: Different Policy Approaches to Reproductive Health
    GENDER PLANNING: DIFFERENT POLICY APPROACHES TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CAROLINE MOSER* ANNE TINKER** MS. MOSER. I am neither a lawyer nor a health expert, so really I am somewhat of an imposter in this symposium. I have worked, however, on gender issues in developing countries over the last two decades, particularly on the development of a rationale to integrate gender into planning. I would like to focus, therefore, less on the legal framework for women's reproductive rights per se, and more on the entry points for the implementation of a rights-based framework for reproductive health. In an operational agency, this is a primary concern. Which health-based issues are the most appropriate entry points for action? To answer this question I will introduce the methodolog- ical framework for gender planning that I have developed. Anne Tinker, my colleague, will then examine the extent to which she has found it a useful framework in terms of World Bank work in the health sector. In this way, together, we will identify whether such methodological tools are useful in deconstructing complex issues relating to reproductive health. This symposium has provided us with an interesting opportunity to try and work collaboratively, from different perspectives, on the same issue. I want to start by raising three sets of issues. First, whose rights are we talking about, and whose needs? How are these identified? Are they global, national, or local in nature? How far are women themselves involved in the definition of these rights? Second, how do we achieve change? Is it best achieved top down, through what has been termed "equity," through changes in the legal * Senior Urban Social Policy Specialist, Urban Development Division, World Bank.

  • CARIBBEAN NATURAL RESOURCES INSTITUTE in Collaboration with the CARIBBEAN ASSOCIATION for FEMINIST RESEARCH and ACTION (CAFRA)
    CARIBBEAN NATURAL RESOURCES INSTITUTE in collaboration with the CARIBBEAN ASSOCIATION FOR FEMINIST RESEARCH AND ACTION (CAFRA) Integrating Gender Issues in Participatory and Collaborative Natural Resource Management Port of Spain, Trinidad 15- 18 November 1999 Administrative Report 1. Overview The four-day workshop Integrating Gender Issues in Participatory and Collaborative Natural Resource Management was a joint undertaking of the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) and the Caribbean Association for Feminist Research and Action (CAFRA). It was held at the Kapok Hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad from 15 - 18 November 1999. This course was the most recent in a series of workshops and courses organised by CANARI to facilitate the transfer of particular skills and methods for participatory resource management. This was the first time, however, that the Institute offered a course on gender and resource management. The impetus for developing this course to examine and analyse gender issues and participatory approaches to natural resource management came from feedback from participants in the annual CANARI overview course on co-management and community participation and the Institute’s own assessment of needs. Relative to other regions in the world where there has been research and writing about gender and resource management, this area is new in the Caribbean. And although there has been gender sensitivity training in the Caribbean, very few natural resource managers have been beneficiaries of such training. 2. Objectives The workshop sought to strengthen the capacity of institutions to implement participatory and collaborative resource management arrangements by: . increasing participants’ knowledge and understanding of linkages between gender and natural resource management; and .

  • “Gender Equality Is Still a Vision, Not a Reality.”
    “Gender equality is still a vision, not a reality.” A case study on the use of gender mainstreaming in SIDA's assistance in climate projects in Bangladesh. Bachelor thesis Authors: Pernilla Gustafsson ​ Tove Hestner Tutor: Heiko Fritz ​ Examinator: Susanne Alldén ​ Subject: Peace and Development ​ Level: Bachelor ​ Term: VT20 ​ Course code: 2FU33E ​ Abstract Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to the effects of climate change and as one of the world's most densely populated countries, the consequences are devastating for millions of people, not least for women who have limited mobility in a strong patriarchal society like Bangladesh (Momtaz, Shameem, 2015). Sweden has a well-known development cooperation with the country that has lasted for several decades. For a long time, SIDA has, on behalf of the government, developed projects in the country to promote both gender equality and climate issues. The purpose of this study is to critically examine SIDA, the Swedish aid authority, how they work with the gender mainstreaming in environmental projects in Bangladesh. The study uses a specific environmental project in Bangladesh that spans a large geographical area across the country. Primary data are semi-structured interviews in combination with official documents developed by SIDA. The sample of interviewees is a snowball selection and the respondents consist of relevant NGOs working in the environmental project as well as individuals employed by SIDA who have expertise in the various areas relevant to the thesis. The results will be analyzed based on our analytical framework on gender integration and how to adapt the integration at different stages in development work to achieve this process.

  • From Conceptual Ambiguity to Transformation Incorporating Gender Equality and Women’S Empowerment in the ICT Arena
    EGM/ ICT/2002/BP.1 2 December 2002 _____________________________________________________________________________________ United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW) Expert Group Meeting on “Information and communication technologies and their impact on and use as an instrument for the advancement and empowerment of women” Seoul, Republic of Korea 11 to 14 November 2002 From Conceptual Ambiguity to Transformation Incorporating Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in the ICT arena Prepared by Gillian Marcelle* * The views expressed in this paper, which has been reproduced as received, are those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the United Nations. From Conceptual Ambiguity to Transformation Gillian M Marcelle November 2002 Introduction The international community has made progress in recognizing that the ICT revolution should not proceed as a technologically deterministic law onto itself, but must be shaped by human values. The need to align development in the ICTs arena with human development objectives is now widely accepted. However, to date, these reshaping efforts have been relatively silent on the need to include gender equality and promotion of women’s empowerment as central tenets of the transformation effort. In this regard, the ICTs arena trails behind peace and security, education, health, human rights, enterprise promotion, macroeconomic reform and trade, where there is acceptance that there can be no meaningful progress, without consideration of gender equality and women’s empowerment. There is an urgent need to fill the “gender equality in the ICTs arena” conceptual gap and to develop effective strategies that can encourage concerted action. These steps are needed to ensure that women secure access to the potential benefits of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) and to minimize potential disbenefits associated with the ICT revolution.

  • Learning & Information Pack: Gender Analysis, UNDP
    UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME GENDER IN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME LEARNING & INFORMATION PACK GENDER ANALYSIS January, 2001 Explanatory Note This Information Pack is intended for use both as a basic resource on gender analysis for the interested reader or for use in a training setting. It has been developed to reflect UNDP’s needs in particular, especially those of gender focal points in UNDP country offices, but we hope that it will have wider utility. It has been designed to be readily adaptable to different needs. The Information pack comprises three sections: Section 1 consists of four sets of slides with a brief commentary on each. The slides set out key points for the reader. The accompanying commentary expands on these key points and provides links to materials available in sections 2 and 3 of the pack. Section 2 includes resources such as reading materials, handouts and worksheets to amplify the issues raised in the slides. Section 3 includes reference to internet and other resources on related issues. Full size slides, which can be used for presentations, are in the back of the manual. The slides and resources included in this Information pack cover four sets of points: • What is gender analysis? These slides look at the purpose of analysis • How can gender analysis and policy be linked? These refer to the information and action that is needed to link gender analysis with policy and planning. • What are the key concepts and tools in social and gender analysis? These slides refer to the concepts and various frameworks that can be used for gender analysis.

  • Gender Planning and Development: Revisiting, Deconstructing and Reflecting
    The Bartlett Development Planning Unit DPU60 Working Paper Series: Reflections NO. 165/60 Gender planning and development: Revisiting, deconstructing and reflecting Caroline O. N. Moser DPU60 Reflections working paper series In 2014 the DPU celebrates 60 years of education, training, re- search, consultancy and knowledge sharing in urban and regional development policy and planning in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. DPU’s focus on urban development and planning in what is now often referred to as ‘the global south’ was unique in the UK and abroad at the time of its establishment at the Architec- tural Association in 1954, as well as when it moved in 1971 from the AA to UCL. DPU colleagues then actively contributed to a dynamic post-colonial history of development debates, planning practices and planning education, helping to forge alternative, socially just innovations in the emergent field of urban development planning. It is the legacy of this unique urban agenda that the DPU60 Reflec- tions Working Papers Series seeks to collate. The series has been developed in partnership with DPU-Associates, a network which brings together former DPU colleagues who maintain a close rela- tionship with current DPU teaching, research and consultancy. In line with the overarching theme of the DPU60 Anniversary celebra- tions – Looking Back, Looking Forward – the series seeks to cover a range of topics that have been and continue to be central to the DPU’s work, from the vantage point of some of the key historical actors in the debate.
