Here is some info. on the book.
Local governments have significant responsibilities to strengthen
gender
equality in decision making, development policies and planning, and
service
delivery.
This manual, 'Gender in Local Government: A Sourcebook for Trainers' is
designed to assist training institutions in mainstreaming gender in
capacity
building for local government. It consists of gender concepts, gender
analysis
and tools in areas of local government.
The following key issues of local governance have been selected:
- participation in local
government,
- land rights,
- urban planning,
- service provision,
- local government
financing,
- violence against women
and
- local economic
development.
Numerous
case studies illustrate what local governments can do to strengthen
gender
mainstreaming in their work. Reflection questions, training exercises
and
guidelines for conducting gender trainings will help trainers to
develop
successful trainings.
It is hoped that it will provide valuable insights and resources for
trainers
and training institutions to improve their training courses to
