The Overseas Development Institute and The Chronic Poverty Research Centre are pleased to inform you of an upcoming public event at the ODI on 7th March, 10.00am – 12.30pm, in celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day. Expanding Frontiers in Gender and Development represents the final event in a seminar series that has sought to highlight progress made, as well as new opportunities and challenges within gender and development, and to foster dialogue between a range of development practitioners from the global South and North.
This event will address some of the new frontiers in important areas of gender and development including gender-based violence, climate change, economic and social empowerment, and governance, with the possibility for highlighting promising new initiatives and the potential to go to scale.
