Although Gender and Development (GAD) or Women in Development (WID)
policies have been promoted for almost three decades, their
feminist ambitions often fall away as they are processed through
the bureaucracies of development institutions. While the policies
have helped to improve the immediate material condition of women,
they have involved public bureaucracies and NGOs in reproducing the
conditions for women's subordination. Outcomes rarely challenge the
asymmetrical distribution of resources, while in the world of
economic policy-making, feminist perspectives are conspicuous by
their absence. This book argues that development organizations must
be recognized as structurally deeply gendered, and that strategies
for women must aim at institutional transformation. It builds a
conceptual framework and applies it to empirical case study
material, while reflecting on strategies to make accountability to
women a routine part of development practice.
