Gender and Development: The Role of Religion and CultureBy:Alice P. Tuyizere This book defines gender in terms of religious and cultural concepts, and explains the impact of religion and culture, as well as gender and development in a patriarchal society. It views gender from a historical perspective, focusing on the gendered differentiation of roles and societal expectations, and relates this to violence and HIV/AIDS. This book also deliberates on women’s liberation movements and addresses issues of gender empowerment and development. Furthermore, the book discusses the various dominant faiths, including Hinduism, Confucianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Baha’i faith and the various religious of the Near East, as well as those of ancient Greece and Rome. Finally, the book emphasises the need for gender mainstreaming in all government and NGO programmes to ensure that gender concerns and imbalances are addressed. <p> <b>About Author</b> <p> Alice P.

Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on Pastoralist women in Sub-Saharan AfricaBy:Munyae M. Malinge The term climate change is used to denote any significant but extended change in the measures of climate. The changes could be due to natural variability or as a result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels to produce energy, deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices. Such activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that hang like a blanket around the earth, thus trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm up. This results increasingly in climate variability, which is characterised by extreme seasonal, annual, temporal and non-spatial variability in temperature, vagaries of precipitation (rainfall patterns and amounts) and/or wind patterns occurring over a prolonged period of time.

Insights into gender equity, equality and power relations in Sub-Saharan AfricaBy:Mansah Prah Since gender entered the development discourse in the Seventies, African countries have increasingly taken the concept on board in policy and practice. This concern may be due to either one or a combination of the following factors: the ideological positioning of African countries, demands by their donors and development partners, and demands by organised local groups and NGOs. Gender in the development discourse ought to transform power relations between men and women and shift them to social relations that reflect their equal access to productive resources, opportunities and social and material benefits. The result of such actions should be an achievement of comparable status of women and men. This volume, initiated by OSSREA, seeks to examine in more depth, issues regarding the gender-power imbalance in sub-Saharan African countries, with a specific focus on the eastern and southern African regions Release date:2013 Language:English

Localised or Localising Democracy:Gender and the Politics of Decentralisation in Contemporary UgandaBy:Josephine Ahikire This book examines the politics of inclusion of women in Uganda’s local government. The notion of local democracy in here is explored, not as an event or a product, but rather as a process within which gender power relations are a constitutive rather than a contingent ingredient. In terms of gender and as in other social inequalities, the local is neither essentialised nor romanticised. Rather, it is problematised, with local politics conceptualised as complex and dynamic. Contrary to the generally held view that decentralisation enables more participation by the unprivileged, including women, this book suggests that this is not always so. <p> <b>About Author</b> <p> Josephine Ahikire is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Women and Gender Studies, Makerere University; and a Senior research fellow with Centre for Basic Research (CBR) (in Kampala. She is a visiting scholar with the Department of Political Studies at the University of Oldenburg in Germany. Ahikire has worked on feminist political theory and has conducted research and she is widely published in the area of gendered constructions of public politics, labour and popular culture, among others. She recently completed a PhD on gender and local politics in Uganda at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johnnesburg, South Africa. Release date:2007 Language:English
