Description
A guide for governments and other organisations wishing to advance gender equality. It argues that gender mainstreaming involves addressing gender inequalities in all aspects of development, especially in decision-making structures. The manual maintains that the term ‘development’ encompasses the concept of human development (which takes account of health, education and purchasing power) as well as economic indicators.
