Natural resources management and gender
The chapters in this book reflect experiences with mainstreaming gender and women's issues in natural resources management. The introductory paper, focusing on the history and current status of gender and natural resources management, is followed by five further papers presenting cases of this approach. The papers examine diverse natural resources from different perspectives, ranging from the household and community level to national and regional policy. They examine the security of women's rights to common property resources and land in West Africa: mainstreaming gender in water policy and institutions in Gujarat, India: gender-responsive planning in wetland development in Uganda: empowering women in managing natural resources in mountain areas of the Hundu-Kish Himalayas of Pakistan: and the development of gender policies for environmental ministries in Mesoamerica.- Creator

Women and gender equity in development theory and practice
The contributors look at connections between women’s well-being and globalization, environmental conservation, land rights, access to information technology, employment, and poverty alleviation. They assess the results of gender mainstreaming, the difficulties that development agencies have translating gender rhetoric into equity in practice, and the conflicts between gender and the reassertion of indigenous cultural identities.- Creator
