WORKSHOP 4. GENDER AND
DEVELOPMENT TRAINING – 26TH TO 28TH FEBRUARY 2014
Overall Course Overview:
Whenever we
talk of development, it is generally assumed that societies’ quest for
material
advancement or improvement in so far as population growth, technology
acquisition, health betterment, educational progression and economic
achievement takes a straight line.
Looked at in this way, the phrase “gender and development” therefore wrongly
presupposes that participation of some members of the society in the
society’s
development project is “upon invitation” that is, either by selection or
election.
In this short course, however, gender is used as a focus of analyzing and
examining the historical processes that perpetuate inhibitive connotations
about gender and work that is how the measures and processes of development
(work) are gendered and the local or international existence of policies and
institutions championing gender justice among men and women.
Course Objectives:
By the end of
this short course, participants should be;
* Familiar with key analytic gender and development debates.
* Able to relate these debates to development theory, policy and
practice at local,
national and international levels.
* Able to comprehend and manipulate complex analytical gender
arguments.
* Capable to evaluate impact of development interventions
(policies, projects and
institutional reform) on gender equity and empowerment.
* Influence and intervene in community development projects at
every level of the
society

The Course
Outline includes training in:-
* Introduction to Gender and Development
