Planning and evaluating women's participation in primary health care

Social Science & Medicine, 1992, vol. 35, issue 6, 831-837

Abstract: Gender planning is specifically applied to primary health care. A theoretical discussion of issues which focus on greater 'mainstream' participation of women in health and development programmes is viewed as a process of empowerment. The theoretical discussion is integrated with a methodology for planning and evaluating gender-focused health programmes. Planning and evaluation are linked in a single feed-back relationship. Relevance of all investigations is discussed and specific methods suggested.
