Abstract title:

Power, institutions and gender relations: can gender training alter the equations?

Author: Ranjani K. Murthy
Issue: Volume 8, Number 2 1998

NGOs, like other organisations, are gendered; that is, they reflect societys power relations between men and women. The author argues that NGOs must begin a process of gender-sensitive institutional change, building equitable practices and attitudes in the long-term, benefiting and empowering NGO staff as well as impacting on their programme work, and strategic objectives.

This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development with Women.
