The
Gender Dimensions of Post-Conflict Reconstruction: The Challenges
in Development Aid by Marcia.E.Greenberg and
Elaine Zuckerman is a chapter in MAKING PEACE WORK: The Challenges
of Social and Economic Reconstruction, Tony Addison and Tilman
Brück, editors, Palgrave MacMillan, United
Nations University World Institute for Development Economics
and Research (UNU-WIDER), 2009. The chapter, concluding
that few World Bank and other donor post-conflict reconstruction
loans and grants identify or address gender discrimination
issues, strongly recommends that donors keep their promises
to promote gender equality to make peace work.

the last few years to shine a spotlight on how IFI projects

of the worst impacts falling on women."
— Liane Schalatek, Deputy Director, Heinrich Boell
Foundation USA, 2006
"Gender Action is taking on the biggest and most complex
players at the international level and getting them to change.
If any organization will succeed in this challenge, it is
Gender Action because of its strong leadership."
— Bill Drayton, Gender Action seed funder, philanthropist
and entrepreneur, 2004

Action has produced the most incisive and practical analysis

with Elaine's extensive experience in lobbying the IFIs, Gender
Action's work represents an exciting and substantial addition
to advocacy in this area, and a big step forward in lobbying
around gender and the IFIs."

highly valued — both inside and outside the World Bank."
