Gender and Development TRAINING KIT GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT Comité québécois Femmes et développement (CQFD) of Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI) 1 This training kit was put together by the Comité québécois women et développement (Quebec committee on women and development, or CQFD) of the Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (Quebec association of international cooperation organizations, or AQOCI), as part of a project funded by the Agence intergouvernementale de la Francophonie (intergovernmental agency for French-speaking countries) through the Women and Development program. The kit was designed for use in training trainers, both women and men, in the Gender and Development approach. It was used at the CQFD/AQOCI training session held on November 26 and 27, 2003, and was later revised to reflect the changes suggested by participants. - Researcher/co-writer: Charlotte Thibault, consultant - Supervisor/co-writer: Yolande Geadah, AQOCI - Reading committee: Elena Alvarado, SUCO Diane Bachand, CECI Louise Bourque, Canadian Crossroads International Dominique Choquette, Paul Gérin Lajoie Foundation Gisèle-Éva Côté, CUSO-Québec Carmen Dupont, International endeavours of Cardinal Léger Sandra Friedrich, Terre Sans Frontières Yolande Geadah, AQOCI Hélène Gobeil, Development and Peace Suzanne Guay, SUCO Nidal Hannoun, CQFD intern Gladys Melo Pinzon, individual member - English translator: Kathe Lieber - Layout artist: Marie-Ève Rioux-Pelletier Our thanks to the Agence intergouvernementale de la Francophonie for its financial support.

In 1991, the CQFD, jointly with the Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC) and the MATCH International Centre, produced a handbook for GAD analysis and training sessions were given to groups that belong to the AQOCI. Over the years, other training tools have been put together by various groups. In 2002, the CQFD decided to revise its own training tools on gender and development and relaunch the GAD approach within the international cooperation and solidarity groups that belong to the AQOCI. This project was made possible by the financial support of the Agence intergouvernementale de la Francophonie. Methodology A consultant was hired in January 2003 to draw up an inventory of existing training tools on GAD analysis in international cooperation organizations in Quebec, at CIDA, and in other French-speaking countries. Her next task was to analyze the training tools and identify gaps and problems encountered by members of the CQFD and AQOCI in the light of their experience on the ground. The third stage involved organizing study days on “analyse différenciée selon les sexes” (gender-differentiated analysis, known by the French initials ADS - a term used by the Quebec government, for which there is no single English equivalent), Gender-Based Analysis (GBA), and Gender and Development (GAD), jointly with Relais-femmes and the Alliance de recherche IREF/Relais femme. The sessions were held at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) on May 7 and 8, 2003. Finally, bearing in mind the reflection process that emerged from the study sessions, the analysis of training tools, and the gaps identified by AQOCI members, the best available tools were selected for use with trainers in international cooperation and solidarity organizations. Rather than holding highly structured training sessions, CQFD members preferred to gather suggestions, along with a selection of exercises to be used for various audiences (volunteers, cooperants, project officers, etc.). Contents This training kit is divided into four main sections: • An introduction to the concept of gender and its use in development work, including some statistics that illustrate disparities between the two genders and between different countries; • A historical overview of the evolution of development approaches and various approaches that involve women, as well as an analysis of the limitations of development; • A presentation of conceptual tools for GAD analysis, and a glossary of terms used in this field; • The training session per se, which includes three levels of exercises: a) exercises that help participants to become familiar with GAD concepts; b) exercises on applying GAD concepts to projects/programs ; and c) exercises on integrating the GAD approach in international cooperation organizations (ICOs). This also includes three documents on successful GAD integration strategies for institutions; • A selected bibliography with useful references, notably Web sites on GAD, as well as titles of films and videos that can be used for training and introducing GAD concepts. This training kit is designed as an open-ended tool so that trainers can add new exercises as needed and based on their own experience. It is truly a work in progress, which can only improve over time as users add more documents to the kit. An initial training session, designed to give participants the tools they need and validate the tools in this kit, was held in Montreal on November 26 and 27, 2003. More than 20 trainers from international cooperation and solidarity organizations helped to validate the training kit. The preliminary version was then revised to reflect suggestions made by participants, resulting in this final version.

Gender and Development Training Kit — CQFD 2004 5 INTRODUCTION In the wake of the United Nations Decade for Women (1975-1985) and the many international conferences held since then, the economic, social, and cultural roles women play in every society have become very difficult to ignore. However, despite the many forums and special programs designed to integrate women, we are forced to acknowledge that the needs, interests, and constraints of women

  • Does Foreign Aid Improve Gender Performance in Recipient Countries?
    Working Paper in Economics # 201811 December 2018 Does Foreign Aid Improve Gender Performance in Recipient Countries? Ranjula Bali Swain and Supriya Garikipati https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/management/people/economics/ © Does Foreign Aid Improve Gender Performance in Recipient Countries? Ranjula Bali Swain and Supriya Garikipati* Abstract An explicit goal of foreign aid is to promote female empowerment and gender equality in developing countries. The impact of foreign aid on these latent variables at the country level is not yet known because of various methodological impediments. We address these by using Structural Equation Models. We use data from the World Development Indicators, the World Governance Indicators and the OECDs Credit Reporting System to investigate if foreign aid has an impact on gender performance of recipient countries at the country level. Our results suggest that to observe improvement in gender performance at the macro-level, foreign aid must target the gender outcomes of interest in a clearly measurable ways. JEL classifications: O11, J16, C13 Keywords: foreign aid, gender performance, structural equation model. 1. Introduction Gender entered the development dialogue over the period 1975-85 which came to be marked by the United Nations as the UN Decade for Women. The accumulating evidence over this period suggests that economic and social developments are not gender-neutral and improving gender outcomes has important implications both at the household and country levels, especially for the prospect of intergenerational wellbeing (Floro, 1995; Klasen, 1999). Consequentially, gender equality came to be widely accepted as a goal of development, as evidenced particularly by its prominence in the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) and, later on, in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • WID to GAD: Conceptual Shifts in the Women and Development Discourse
    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.

  • Gender Studies
    Gender Studies Gender and Development 1. Colonial perspectives on Gender The British in India saw themselves as a force for enlightenment, especially for women. To support their claim, they pointed to the laws liberalising women’s legal position. Between 1772 and 1947 they introduced nine major reforms. including the laws forbidding female infanticide, sati and child marriage, and those raising the age of consent, allowing widow remarriage, and improving women’s inheritance rights. Official British policy was of non-interference in personal and religious matters, which inhibited the evolution of social change in written law. British policies in certain other areas present a different outlook often highlighting the colonizers’ approach to women. Liddle and Joshi have delineated three such examples: 1. The restitution of conjugal rights: This ideology was derived from Christian ecclesiastical law and was brought to India from England. Under this law a spouse can sue one’s partner if she refuses to fulfill the sexual obligations of marriage. A prison term was imposed for non-compliance. 2. Regarding prostitution, the soldiers in the army were provided with Indian prostitutes by the official military authorities. These prostitutes had to get themselves registered and carried a licensed card with them. They also had to undergo compulsory medical examination. 3. Women's suffrage that is the right of women to vote and to stand for office was granted to Indian women in a very limited sense in 1921 in Madras presidency. This franchise was given to those women and men who were educated and wealthy. This was due to efforts of Women's Indian Association (WIA).

  • JICA Thematic Guidelines on Gender and Development
    JICA Thematic Guidelines on Gender and Development November 2009 Task Force for Thematic Guidelines on “Gender and Development” Public Policy Department JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY(JICA) Preface In 2009, JICA revised the former guidelines titled “JICA Thematic Guidelines on Gender Mainstreaming/WID” prepared in August 2002. The new guidelines are titled the “JICA Thematic Guidelines on Gender and Development.” The new Guidelines re-establish the direction of the new JICA on the theme, based on the principles of “Japan’s Medium-Term Policy on ODA” developed in 2005, and in conjunction with the concept of “human security” as expressed in the new JICA’s mission statements. The direction is also based on internationally shared concepts such as WID (Women in Development), GAD (Gender and Development), and gender mainstreaming, which have historically evolved since the 1970’s. The Guidelines cover gender mainstreaming in all three schemes of JICA; namely, ODA Loan, Grant Aid, and Technical Cooperation. They also provide gender perspectives and operational guidance for the 17 key thematic areas in which JICA operates. We hope that the Guidelines will lay a foundation for gender mainstreaming in JICA’s programs and projects as well as serve as a useful tool for effective development cooperation. The Guidelines aim to provide directions and guidance for JICA’s cooperation based on the overview of concepts of, the current situation of, and global trends in Gender and Development. The Guidelines are expected to facilitate the sharing of understanding and information among JICA staff and all related parties, and serve as a useful reference for all stages of project cycle - planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

  • Feminism and the Anthropology of 'Development'
    Feminism and the Anthropology of ‘Development’: Dilemmas in Rural Mexico Julia E. Murphy ABSTRACT: Feminist promotion of gender equity in development began in the 1970s, challenging development policy and practice and producing a rich body of debate and scholarship. Feminist anthropologists, through scholarship and activism, made impor- tant contributions to the project of reforming development. A recent anthropological critique of development, however, referred to as the anthropology of ‘development’, has raised important questions about anthropology’s relationship to development, presenting new challenges to feminist anthropologists who would engage with de- velopment. This new approach, despite its a ention to power, has not had questions about gender at its centre. Drawing on fi eldwork in southeastern Campeche, Mexico, this paper explores challenges of a feminist anthropology of ‘development’, includ- ing pressures for engagement and disengagement, and the apparent contradiction between refl exive critiques of, and feminist engagements with, development. KEYWORDS: anthropology of ‘development’, Calakmul, engaged anthropology, feminist anthropology, gender and development, Mexico Anthropology, Feminism, of development theory and challenged de- and Development velopment practice.
