What is the page focus?

• The Gender and Development page of the Development Gateway is envisioned as an Internet platform for gender and development-related resources, information, and dialogue. The objective is to enhance the effectiveness of development efforts worldwide through sharing knowledge of gender-sensitive analysis, actions and policies.
  
  Of particular interest are case studies where gender issues play a part in successful development programs, links to networks and organizations that have been formed to address gender issues, and analytical work on the connections between gender and effective development.
  
  The Gender and Development Page is a tool for all those working to advance gender equality by improving the lives of poor women and men. More specifically, the information on this site would be of interest to NGOs and government offices that address gender issues, development officials who are planning projects and wish to ensure that gender questions are addressed, and researchers or academics who believe that specific gender-based problems exist and should be studied.
  
  Currently, the topic page consists of the Gender and Development Homepage, and the following key issues:
  
  
• Human Development
  
• Human Rights and Violence
• Education & Training
  
• Social Justice
  
• Health and Nutrition
  
• Governance and Law
  
• Technology and ICT
  
• Access and Opportunity
  
• Refugees and Migrant Workers

We want this page to be interactive and to provide a forum for sharing and exchanging information. Please become a page member and share your ideas about the issues and challenges facing gender. Gender networks and colleagues in developing countries are particularly encouraged to participate in the Gender and Development page and to contribute to its discussion forums.

We look forward to your contributions and ideas. Please contact the Editorial Team of the page at: gender@dgfoundation.org with your suggestions for the page.
