UNU-WIDER, in collaboration with the University of Namur (UNamur),
Belgium, is organizing a project focusing on core issues in gender and
development. The project aims to generate high-quality, high-impact
research by engaging academics, researchers, and policy-makers.

While substantial progress toward gender equality and women’s
empowerment has occurred over the past decades, key gaps, both in
opportunity and capability, persist between males and females across
various domains in all countries. Development economics continues to
struggle with putting an effective gender dimension into analytical
frameworks and national policy. The evidence base on gender equity in
the broader concern of inclusion is still not sufficient for policy.
The project aims to help fill this gap.

UNU-WIDER and UNamur invite proposals for papers exploring various
themes related to gender and development. Submissions using different
analytical methods such as quantitative and qualitative empirical
methods, mixed methods, historical analyses, experiments, and
theoretical analyses are welcome. The aim is that these papers will

culminate in articles for a special issue of a journal or chapters in
a book volume with a reputable publishing house.
