| The publication contains main results from a number of case studies with a focus on women and gender that had been carried out within and in relation to the NCCR North-South programme. The book is divided into two main sections conceptual and case studies bound together by an introduction and synthesis written by Christine Müller. The aim of the conceptual section is to lay out issues relevant to gendersensitive research, and emphasise the nature of transdisciplinary and participatory work, as well as the challenges of making such research useful and relevant to practical promotion of sustainable development through a gender-sensitive approach. The case studies are diverse. They include various types of research done in Kenya, India, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Argentina, Nepal, and Bolivia, and range from studies in their initial stages to those that have been completed. The articles that represent initial stages of research address issues relevant in terms of content and methodology that are highlighted after a first phase of initial research, and outline an intention to carry out further research in the local context. Those that represent completed research present critical findings and also suggest ways of carrying out deeper and more advanced gender-sensitive research.
