Sustainable development has traditionally neglected the contributions of women until recently. Government and institutions in developing countries, as well as foreign aid agencies, are just beginning to realize the important roles filled by women as farmers, entrepreneurs, food providers, educators, and role models in developing countries and are attempting to integrate women into nongovernmental organization projects and voluntary organization programs. According to James and his contributors, women should not be just acknowledged, they must be included in the planning, construction, implementation, and operation of development schemes in Africa in order for development to be successful and widespread.
VALENTINE UDOH JAMES is Assistant Professor of Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia. He is the author of Resource Management in Developing Countries (Praeger, 1991) and Environmental and Economic Dilemmas of Developing Countries (Praeger, 1994).
