This book is written to document the results of the interdisciplinary symposium «Women in the context of international development and co-operation – review and perspectives». Its content is based on the awarded research projects on this topic and synthesizes the broad knowledge and experience of German political foundations, and also national institutions of Development Co-operation in the field focusing on the role of women as key actors of development and co-operation in poor countries. The intention of this book is to present the state of the art and to have the challenge for all relevant institutions and organisations to provide more gender-balanced policy, technical advice to address sustainable and development needs for men and women.
