Definition of Gender
• Gender refers to the rules, norms, customs and practices by which biological differences between males and females are translated into socially constructed differences between men and women and boys and girls (Kabeer, 1994:2).
• Ostergaad (1992: 6) has used the term gender to refer to the qualitative and interdependent character of men and women’s position in society.

Problem statement
• Development organizations play a fundamental role in development processes.
• Once international institutions establish their founding ideology, their staff, institutional cultures and structures, change does not easily happen.
