FISH AND FEMINISTS

Despite apparent acceptance of gender analysis within development orga nizations, this is still only rarely translated into gender-sensitive practice. The language of gender and development is adopted, but is ac companied by a subtle shift into 'projects for women'. The article con siders the problem through a case study of a programme in one internat ional development organization - the FAG. The programme promotes small scale fish fanning in southern Africa, and gender issues have gained a high profile in its stated aims. The case study traces the articulat ion of gender issues from headquarters to a pilot project In Luapula P rovince, Zambia.
