Women, Development and Empowerment: A Pacific Feminist Perspective
RATIONALE FOR WORKSHOP SESSION ON PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES
RATIONALE FOR WORKSHOP SESSION ON PROJECTS AND PROGRAMMES
The session was included in the workshop to allow a critical examination of women's projects and activities in the Pacific in the last 10 years. It was necessary to look at projects, to see what women had been doing, the history behind women's projects and how they were set up, and the impact of these projects on women. The case studies of different types of projects in the Pacific that followed were to help the workshop examine the contribution that projects made at the community level and nationally, to improving the status and conditions of women.
