The New BRIDGE website

Welcome to the new BRIDGE website. As you will see we have merged the former Siyanda and BRIDGE websites to provide a central point for gender and development information in support of your gender mainstreaming needs. In addition to providing diverse information in one place, you will find many other improvements including: more information on BRIDGE products and ongoing work; better and easier search functions; and many other features. Over the next few months you will see more exciting changes but for now, please let us know what you think by contacting us at: bridge@ids.ac.uk

Gender and Governance Cutting Edge Pack

Governance processes – with their emphasis on principles of accountability, transparency, responsiveness and inclusiveness – should be a means to social transformation. But despite this potential, they are failing to deliver on gender equality. This Cutting Edge Pack maps out persistent obstacles to gender equality in governance and offers possible ways forward - including promoting gender balance in positions of authority, making rights central to governance institutions and processes at all levels, and building political will for change.
