<br/><br/> GENDER ROLES IN DEVELOPMENT PROJECT'S: A CASE BOOK<br/>Edited by Catherine Overholt, Mary B. Anderson, Kathleen Cloud and<br/>James E. Austin.<br/>This collection of technical papers and case studies, edited under the<br/>auspices of the Harvard Institute of International Development, will<br/>give scholars and practitioners in all fields of international development<br/>a clearer picture of the pivotal role that women play in the success or<br/>failure of any development project. Examples are drawn from a wide<br/>range of cultural and political environments including small-scale enter-<br/>prises in the Dominican Republic, bank loan programs in Peru and<br/>Indonesia, and problems of agricultural technology and training in<br/>Africa. The reader will gain an understanding of how women's needs<br/>and activities may better be incorporated into development planning.<br/>SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE BOOK<br/>"Provides a conceptual framework and emperical case studies which<br/>are both relevant and useful in designing development assistance<br/>projects and programs.'<br/>D. Woods Thomas, International Programs, Purdue University.<br/>“A unique and valuable set of materials which uses the case method to<br/>explore how attention to gender issues alters the economic and social<br/>analysis of development projects."<br/>Judith Bruce, International Programs, The Population Council.
