Abstract title: Gender in development: a long haul - but were getting there!
Author: Josefina Stubbs
Issue: Volume 10, No 3 and 4 (double anniversary issue) 2000

While womens movements in Latin America and elsewhere have succeeded in putting many issues that are relevant to women and to gender relations onto the political agenda, and although most international aid agencies have made efforts to incorporate gender analysis into their work, this progress has been neither comprehensive nor unproblematic. This article focuses on ways in which the development co-operation agenda, and the priorities and working methods of development agencies and NGOs, have served to distort the vision and practice of the womens organisations whose work they seek to support.

This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Debating Development
