Gender at the front
The Special Paper in the CTA Annual Report 1999 presents 'The Economic Role of Women in Agricultural and Rural Development: The Promotion of Income-generating Activities'. Written by Grace Akello and Fatou Sarr of Uganda and Senegal, respectively, the paper provides a compact overview of the barriers to and opportunities for optimising women s roles, ranging from the global gender agenda to policies and strategies for income generation. It calls for a shift, a fundamental shift, from promoting gender neutrality towards a vision that is based on the economic empowerment of women in a development model where women are the subjects, rather than the objects, of development. The Special Paper is also available, free-of-charge, from CTA, separately from the Annual Report. CTA number 979. PDS subscribers, please use your publications order form.
