Polishing the stone: a journey through the promotion of gender equality in development projects
This book offers practical methods for mainstreaming gender equity in rural development projects. Accompanied by straightforward testimonies offered by women and men from rural communities, the reader is taken on a journey through various gender geographies and invited to reflect on the relationship between gender equality and poverty reduction. By combining theoretical discussion with ethnographic descriptions and accounts of development practice, polishing the stone demonstrates that development organizations must adapt their approaches to the reality of the people they try to assist, instead of applying preconceived solutions to poverty. The different perspectives on poverty, equity and respect and the aspirations expressed in the testimonies presented in this book deserve the attention not only of development practitioners, but also of policy-makers, governments and civil society organizations.
