Abstract: Strengthening people's capacity to determine their own priorities and to act on them is the basis of gender-equity based development. International and national policy concerns regarding the im portant role women play in development has not necessarily been translated into practice. This article seeks to address this gap by examining various approaches of women and development, fol lowed by the gender-based approach in development. Finally, the article identifies issues and concerns to be addressed in developmental programmes from the gender perspective.
