Rationale

One of the programs that the government through the department of education is so passionate about is the structuring of development
programs and projects based on analyses of gender relationship or gender and development

Gender and Development (GAD) is the development perspective and process that is participatory and empowering, equitable,
sustainability, free from violence and respectful of human rights. It is also concerned with women and her specific roles, responsibilities and
expectation in the society it also analyze the nature of women’s contribution within the context of work done inside and outside the household
and reflects the public or private dichotomy that undervalues the work done by women in the home.

GAD focuses in equality of women and men with regard to political representation and participation. Also focuses on the principle that
development is for all. Everyone in society, female or male has the right to equal opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying life.

Genders refers to the characteristic of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. Genders alludes not simply women or
men but the relationship between them and the way it is socially constructed since gender biases exist and these biases prevent people from
attaining their full potentials, development is impeded.
