This handbook can be used to review the main approaches to using gender-sensitive indicators, and to determine which type of indicators to use. It concentrates on gender integrated and WID (Women in Development) specific projects with an end-user/local stakeholder focus. It should be used as a companion to the more comprehensive "Guide to Gender-Sensitive Indicators", which contains fuller discussions of concepts, methods, and case studies.

A comprehensive and clear guide to training, with techniques aimed at all types of participatory training. All stages are discussed - from the planning and design of the workshop to the available techniques, with examples from the field, illustrations and diagrammes.

This Guide focuses on ways to use gender analysis to increase the effectiveness of development programs and projects for sustainable development. The primary goal is to make policy, program and project specialists aware of simple and inexpensive tools to incorporate gender concerns into development action. The tools discussed include PRA methods as well as more conventional techniques. They offer ways of gathering data and analysing gender as a variable in household and community organisation for natural resource management. Each tool is illustrated with an application from ECOGEN research.

This paper reports the results of the 'Dare-to-Share Fair' held in The Hague, The Netherlands in October 1999, involving over 40 organisations. The subject of the event was sharing experiences around participatory approaches to development and learning from the field how to assist people in their development in such a way that they actually own the process.
