Abstract
: 
"Gender, Conflict, and Development provides a comprehensive analysis of gender and conflict and focuses on the policy relevance of the information for development institutions. It is the first book to link the World Bank's work on gender mainstreaming with its agenda on conflict and development." "A thoughtful assessment of the practical implications of various policy options, Gender, Conflict, and Development will be of value to all development agencies seeking to encourage positive change in the aftermath of violent conflict and to anyone interested in the relationship between gender and conflict."--BOOK JACKET.
