Book Summary
Assuming that women's empowerment would accelerate the pace of social change in
rural Nepal, the World Bank urged the Nepali government to undertake a "Gender
Activities Project" within an ongoing long-term water-engineering scheme. The
author, an anthropologist specializing in bureaucratic organizations and gender
studies, was hired to monitor the project. Analyzing her own experience as a
practicing "development expert," she demonstrates that the professed goal of
"women's empowerment" is a pretext for promoting economic organizational goals
and the interests of local elites. She shows how a project intended to benefit
women, through teaching them literary and agricultural skills, fails to provide
them with any of the promised resources.
