Executive Summary
The authors discuss factors that may contribute to the effectiveness of gender mainstreaming for successful postconflict reconstruction. They recommend examining the links between gender equality and development when conducting research on gender equality and postwar reconstruction. They also describe the cases of Angola and Mozambique which show how postconflict development may be linked with gender mainstreaming policies and outcomes.
