Gender Analysis in Development

Gender Analysis in Development is the systematic examination of the different roles, responsibilities, resources, and constraints of women and men, and of the relations between them, in order to understand how development interventions affect and are affected by gender. Spanning a family of frameworks — the Harvard Analytical Framework, Caroline Moser's gender-planning approach, and Naila Kabeer's Social Relations Approach — it provides comparative tools to surface inequalities, distinguish practical from strategic needs, and design interventions and gender-mainstreaming strategies grounded in sex-disaggregated evidence.
