    Failing Women, Sustaining Poverty: Gender in Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs)

    BRIDGE, 2003
    Why have so few Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) taken women's poverty seriously? To answer the question, this paper draws on PRSP processes from Tanzania, Bolivia, Malawi and Yemen.
