Abstract title: The need for reliable systems: gendered work in Oxfams Uganda programme
Author:

Lina Payne and Ines Smyth

Issue: Volume 9, Numbers 1+2 (double issue) 1999

This paper looks at a Gender Review conducted for Oxfam GB of their programme in Uganda. The Review found that the programme lacked a coherent strategy and gender work was invariably considered an add-on rather than an integrated part of development planning. They advocate developing a strategy for social change, including monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and provision for capacity-building among staff and with local womens organisations.

This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development and Management.
