Gender and Development as the
development perspective and process that
is participatory and empowering,
equitable, sustainable, free from violence,

self-determination and actualization of
human potentials.
Gender and Development was developed
in the 1980’s as an alternative to the
Women in Development (WID) approach.
Unlike WID, the GAD approach is not
concerned specifically with women, but
with the way in which a society assigns
roles, responsibilities, and expectations to
both men and women.
