Gender and social issues in natural resource management research for development

Abstract

This book is derived from a series of research projects carried out through the sponsorship of the Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA) with the help of a grant provided by the International Research Development Centre (IDRC) of Canada. The goal of the research endeavours, and therefore of this book, was to build capacity amongst natural resource management (NRM) researchers, with emphasis on land and water management in the sub-region, and to document the processes and examples of best practice made by NRM researchers towards integrating gender analysis and participatory research.
