    Do Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) address gender? A gender audit of 2002 PRSPs

    Southern African Regional Poverty Network, 2003
    Can progress be seen on gender in the 13 Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) produced in 2002? Yes - but there is a long way to go before gender issues are thoroughly integrated.

    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.

An examination of these reveals that overall attention to gender is minimal.

    2001
    Trade liberalisation processes impact differently on men and women due to the fact that men and women have different roles in production. Despite the fact that women are actively involved in international trade, WTO agreements are gender blind and as such have adverse impacts on women.
