- About
Gender and Inclusive Development offers a timely and comprehensive exploration of gender mainstreaming across diverse sectors, domains, and regions. Drawing on global experiences and grounded in the framework of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly SDG 5—this volume critically examines the evolution of gender equality strategies from Women in Development (WID) to Gender and Development (GAD). It highlights the transformative potential of gender-sensitive policy design and implementation, emphasising the need to dismantle discriminatory institutions and foster inclusive participation in political, economic, and social spheres.
Through interdisciplinary contributions, the book engages with pressing questions around gender roles, decision-making, and inequality in development contexts. It presents empirical and theoretical insights that unpack the complexities of gender mainstreaming, offering a nuanced analytical lens to understand its challenges and opportunities. With a focus on real-world impact, the volume aims to inform policy, practice, and academic discourse, providing a blueprint for inclusive and transformative gender mainstreaming that can accelerate progress toward global gender parity.
