Peacebuilding and reconstruction
- Six strategies for engendering relief and reconstruction projects
- This paper offers six recommendations for engendering relief and reconstruction programmes, and each strategy is followed by specific implementation suggestions. The authors conclude by stressing that gender analysis helps to clarify the specific and often different capacities, vulnerabilities, needs and coping-strategies of men and women. Specific efforts can be made to empower women by ensuring their active role in decision-making and implementation process and identifying their main constraints and possibilities for change
