Economic development in the poorest countries often makes better
progress when women become involved in, and take a lead in,
development projects. Encouraging women's involvement, however, is
often a major difficulty in societies where traditionally women's
status has been inferior and where women are expected to be
domestic and passive. This book, based on extensive original
research, considers major projects undertaken by non-governmental
organisations in Bangladesh to encourage women's participation. The
book identifies the factors which motivated women to be active,
discusses how women achieved the level of capacity and knowledge to
enable them to serve their communities appropriately, assesses the
major difficulties and recommends how empowerment projects can be
improved in future. The book concludes that established
institutions and traditional customs are often the greatest barrier
to women's participation.
