Donors and other agencies are striving to improve the flow of information within and between decision-makers and so-called 'poor and marginalized groups' in order to promote economic and social development, including the empowerment of women. Gender, Power and Knowledge for Development questions the assumptions and practice of the knowledge-for-development industry. 410 0$aRoutledge explorations in development studies. 606 $aEconomic development$xInformation services 606 $aCommunication in economic development 606 $aWomen in development 606 $aNon-governmental organizations 606 $aKnowledge management 615 0$aEconomic development$xInformation services. 615 0$aCommunication in economic development. 615 0$aWomen in development. 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations. 615 0$aKnowledge management. 676 $a338.9 676 $a338.9 700 $aNarayanaswamy$b Lata.$0933971 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154708003321 996 $aGender, power and knowledge for development$92102658 997 $aUNINA
