Battles Over Booklets: Gender Myths in the British Aid Programme

摘要

Between 1986 and 1999, the British Governments development cooperation Ministry published a series of information booklets to publicise its policy in relation to women and development (ODA 1986, 1989, 1992, 1995; DFID 1999). These were colloquially known in house as "WID [Women in Development] glossies". They aimed to provide the government's policy position at the moment of publication. Three years or so later that position had shifted and a new booklet was required (DFID 2000).
