This modular instrument provides a conceptual and operational framework for main-streaming gender in rural development activities. It addresses the lack of conceptual and practical tools in the area of sustainable land management. Its modular design allows for individual approaches and targets development staff at the project and programme levels, with the aim of helping them to find practical ways of dealing with gender issues in rural development activities. From a perspective that takes up the Beijing call for gender mainstreaming, it also reaches out to people responsible for policy and organisational development.
