Abstract
"This study examines processes of institutionalizing gender and development (GAD) concerns in the state and finds that efforts to integrate gender in development through national women s machinery have produced many important strategic gains above all, in legitimating a place for gender issues in development. WID/GAD government units have innovated policy analysis and monitoring tools such as gender checklists and guidelines for cross-government use. Other new instruments for co-ordinating gender-sensitive planning across the government have been WID/GAD focal points in line ministries and synoptic gender-sensitive national development plans. The WID/GAD issue has had pockets of success in gaining allies and has made critically important gains in revising data bases used for development planning to include aspects of women s lives."(pg 1)
