- Description
- This volume focuses on women in Latin America as stakeholders in water resources management. It makes their contributions to grassroots efforts visible, explains why doing so is essential for effective public policy and planning in the water sector, and provides guidelines for future planning and project implementation. The book is divided into four parts: understanding gender and water management: neoliberal policies and their social impact: technology transfer and social organisation: participation and cultural change.
