This is the USAID general notice issued by Administrator Randall L. Tobias in commemoration of International Women's Day, 2007. The notice highlights USAID's support for and accomplishments in improving the status of women and enhancing their opportunities.

This annual report of the Women's Legal Rights Initiative (WLR) discusses best practices and reviews lessons learned, approaches, and activities that offer ideas about what works best in a given situation -- or how not to do something. This third annual report takes a broader perspective on best practices and lessons learned than previous reports did. It still focuses on WLR country program activities but considers the process used for developing the activity within each of the project's intermediate results, the need for and benefit of sound monitoring and evaluation plans, including indicators and data collection, and strategies for project management.

This paper is one of several analytical documents synthesizing the findings across Promoting Women in Development (PROWID) projects and their implications within various themes; this paper's theme is domestic violence against women. Eleven PROWID projects focused upon domestic violence: three research and intervention projects were facilitated by non-governmental organizations in Russia, Bulgaria and Mexico, and eight research studies were undertaken in India. As a whole, these diverse projects generated some common conclusions regarding the problem of domestic violence.

This paper is one of several analytical documents synthesizing the findings of Promoting Women in Development (PROWID) projects and their implications within various themes. Using a human rights and freedoms approach to development, this paper synthesizes the findings from a number of PROWID projects that explore women's economic roles and opportunities and their aspirations for advancement. It reviews the sorts of constraints they face in fulfilling them and considers the relationship between women's rights and capabilities on the one hand and development policy and practice on the other.

This paper is one of several analytical documents synthesizing the findings and implications of Promoting Women in Development (PROWID) projects. This paper focuses on projects in the areas of governance, civil society, and women's leadership. These projects have pointed to various ways in which women can be integrated into the democratization process.

This is the final report of the Women's Legal Rights Initiative (WLR). The WLR worked to advance the legal, civil, property, and human rights of women in 10 developing countries: Albania, Benin, Guatemala, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, and Swaziland.  It was implemented from 2002 to 2007 by Chemonics International in partnership with the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA), MetaMetrics, Inc., and Partners of the Americas.

This information bulletin provides an overview of the WIDTECH Small Grants Initiative, which supported the efforts of local organizations in integrating women into the development process. The organizations that received grants fell into three general areas: promotion of women's economic opportunities, promotion of women's legal and political rights, and integration of gender in conservation efforts. Although the grants described in this bulletin represent just a small sampling of the total awarded, they illustrate the impact that a relatively small investment can have in raising awareness of gender inequities in developing countries and in affording local groups the opportunity to address them.

This brochure is the monographic record of a USAID photographic exhibition in honor of International Women's Day (8-16 March 2007, Senate Russell Office Building, Washington, DC and 16-23 March 2007, Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, Washington, DC). It describes how women contribute to development and how USAID assistance supports women's empowerment and equality, focusing on the economic growth, peace and security, humanitarian assistance, democracy and governance, education, and health sectors.

This document profiles USAID's efforts to address barriers to full access to opportunity for women and men throughout the developing world. The success stories are a testament to the progress women and men have made. The selected examples illustrate the many efforts made by the USAID field missions, the Office of Women in Development, and other USAID operating units to fully integrate women into development programs and policies throughout USAID.

This is the final report of the Women in Development Technical Assistance (WIDTECH) Project, a five-year contract that ran from September 1996 through December 2001. WIDTECH promoted gender integration by supporting the USAID Women in Development office in its goal of enabling women to participate fully and benefit equally in the development process and incorporating gender concerns into all activities in USAID-assisted countries. The report describes WIDTECH's achievements and lessons learned, focusing on its five sector areas (democracy and governance, economic growth, education, environment, and health) and core services (training, grants to local NGOs, communication and information dissemination, and gender integration).

This final report of the African Women Leaders in Agriculture and the Environment (AWLAE) program provides an overview of the activities implemented and results achieved under the program. The goal of the program was to increase the participation and leadership of African women at all levels of agricultural and environmental activity. The program focused on helping professional women advance so that they might become stronger advocates for policies and programs that benefit women farmers.

In June 2002, the EGAT/WID NGO Small Grants Program held the "Conference on Women's Property and Inheritance Rights" in Nairobi, Kenya. Representatives of NGOs that had received funding to support their efforts to strengthen women's property and inheritance rights gathered at the conference to discuss the goals, structures, and outcomes of their work. This paper synthesizes and summarizes those proceedings.

This gender assessment focuses principally on (a) how strengthening women's participation and paying attention to gender issues can enhance USAID/Angola's results and (b) how monitoring and evaluation can track the success stories of women's involvement in USAID programs as well as any unintended negative impacts that can be remedied once observed. The report identifies key issues for Angolan women, particularly in light of conflict and the anticipated transition from humanitarian to development assistance. The report also looks at gender and performance monitoring with regard to USAID/Angola programming in the agriculture & food security, democracy & governance, and health & HIV/AIDS sectors.

In preparation for developing its Country Strategic Plan, USAID/Angola asked USAID's Office of Women in Development to help it assess the roles women in Angola are currently playing or might play in the future with some assistance. The assessment identifies gender-based issues that could present challenges or offer opportunities for USAID's democracy work in Angola. This summary report aims to identify existing conditions, desired conditions, discrepancies between the two, the causes of these discrepancies, and how they should be addressed.

This document is a French-language paralegal manual on the Benin Family Code.

This is the original French-language version of Benin's sexual harassment legislation.

This is a French-language pamphlet that explains Benin's family code. It covers a variety of issues, including marriage, divorce, and children.

This is a French-language manual on the Benin Family Code. It is comprised of two parts: (1) basic paralegal training for community members without formal legal education, and (2) information regarding the reformed Benin Family Code. The manual aims to be an easy-to-use tool that civil society organizations, teachers, midwives, city hall workers, community leaders, and others have used to inform Benin's citizens of their rights and responsibilities under the Family Code.

This one-pager describes the achievements of USAID's Women's Legal Rights Initiative in Benin. With encouragement from the project, Benin has adopted national reforms that render many longstanding local customs illegal, but awareness is low and enforcement is weak. The WomenÂ’s Legal Rights Benin team, with local partners, visits remote areas of the country informing women and men about the new laws.

This is the final report of the Women's Legal Rights Initiative (WLR). The WLR worked to advance the legal, civil, property, and human rights of women in 10 developing countries: Albania, Benin, Guatemala, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, and Swaziland.  It was implemented from 2002 to 2007 by Chemonics International in partnership with the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA), MetaMetrics, Inc., and Partners of the Americas.

This document reports on the findings of a two-week assessment and analysis trip to Benin by the Women's Legal Rights Initiative. The goal of the trip was to determine pervasive obstacles to the enforcement and enjoyment of womenÂ’s legal rights in Benin. The document includes an overview of USAID and other donor programs in Benin, background information on Benin's government and NGO community, findings and recommendations, and a proposed strategy for promoting the women's legal rights in Benin.

This gender assessment considers (1) the general context of women and gender issues in Eritrea, including how gender issues are enshrined in law and legal codes and thereby impact political participation and education; (2) the health situation and constraints for women and girls in terms of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS; (3) gender issues relating to economic growth and income generation in terms of rural and urban enterprise development; (4) studies of female demobilized soldiers; and (5) how the Mission can take a cross-cutting approach to gender equity and increased participation of women in its funding, management, monitoring, and evaluation.

This is the consolidated first, second, third and fourth quarterly report (November 1, 2002 – October 31, 2003) for "Advancing Women's Rights Globally". The report discusses the activities of the Georgetown University Law Center's International Women's Human Rights Clinic and its four partners -- LAWA-Ghana, Nigeria WRAPA, Tanzania WLAC, and LAW-Uganda -- under Grant Agreement #GEW-G-00-02-00001-00. Under this grant, the partners work on various projects to advance women's rights through legislation, litigation, strengthening civil society, and public education.

Given the important role of women in Kenya and the multiple obstacles they face in their daily lives, USAID/Kenya requested assistance in incorporating gender considerations into its portfolio of activities. This report presents the findings of this assistance, offering:

• Suggested approaches toward incorporating gender into the USAID/Kenya strategic objectives of democracy and governance, economic growth, population and health, and natural resources management;
• Recommendations on incorporating gender into the USAID/Kenya Integrated Strategic Plan (ISP), Results Review & Resource Request (R4), and Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) reporting documents; and
• Recommendations on possible next steps for the Mission toward further supporting the well-being of women in Kenya.

The subject of inheritance has always been very close to the hearts of many Basotho, and it is often at the center of legal disputes. Lesotho has a dual legal system, meaning that it operates and maintains in parallel two legal systems, customary and statutory. This report deals with both legal systems.

This brochure, offered in both the English and Sesotho languages, describes how to create a sound and accurate will and provides a sample of a will. While the Basotho people are not used to drawing up wills, doing so has become necessary for everyone, especially in light of HIV/AIDS. In addition, wills are of the utmost importance in protecting women's and children's inheritances.

This report describes a paralegal training activity in Leribe district, Lesotho, which was undertaken by the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) and received financial support from USAID and other donors. The 17 participants included youth leaders, support groups, a teacher, a farmer, a chief, and a police officer. The program aimed to equip participants with knowledge of the rudiments of marriage and inheritance, child welfare, sexual offense, land, and labor laws in order to enable them to appreciate and deal with  the day-to-day problems they encountered in their communities.

This brochure describes Lesotho's statutory and customary marriage laws. Topics covered include consent, divorce, child custody and care, and division of property. Also discussed are the conflicts in marriage law posed by Lesotho's dual legal system.

This manual, revised by the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA-Lesotho) in 2006, is designed to assist in the training of paralegals in Lesotho. The manual serves as a guideline that trainers can adapt to their own training strategies. The manual includes information on Lesotho's legal system; criminal and civil law procedures; family, inheritance, labor, and property laws; and sexual violence and human rights.

This brochure, created by the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), aims to simplify Lesotho's 2003 Sexual Offenses Act. The Act is meant to consolidate and repeal all laws relating to sexual offenses. Its main objectives are to combat sexual violence (including child prostitution) and to prescribe appropriate sentences for sexual offenses.

This document presents several stories to illustrate how women in Lesotho were powerless under the old constitution and laws governing marriage and how the amended new constitution of equality of married counterparts attempts to rectify this. Under the new constitution, all laws giving men sole power in marriage and in community of property will be done away with. A married woman will have the power to make her own decisions about money and employment and about her children (including regarding their education and marriage); she will also be able to inherit property and have a say in matters affecting family property.

This brochure attempts to simplify the Lesotho government's new Land Bill. The Bill's objectives are to provide for the granting of land titles, facilitate the conversion of land titles, better secure titles to land, manage land, grant public servitudes, settle land disputes, and repeal earlier land laws. The Bill protects the rights of women specifically by placing them on the same footing as their male counterparts.

Under the Greater Access to Trade Expansion (GATE) Project, USAID/Bangladesh commissioned Development & Training Services, Inc. (dTS) to carry out a trade impact review (TIR) to inform its Country Strategic Statement (2006–2010) for Bangladesh. The Bangladesh TIR includes several complementary analyses, including this legal and regulatory analysis. The report analyzes the coherence between (1) Bangladesh's trade commitments and trade-related policies, laws, and regulations, and (2) the country's international and national commitments to poverty reduction and gender equality.

This paper is one of several analytical documents synthesizing the findings across Promoting Women in Development (PROWID) projects and their implications within various themes; this paper's theme is domestic violence against women. Eleven PROWID projects focused upon domestic violence: three research and intervention projects were facilitated by non-governmental organizations in Russia, Bulgaria and Mexico, and eight research studies were undertaken in India. As a whole, these diverse projects generated some common conclusions regarding the problem of domestic violence.
