Gender is a complex variable that is a part of social, cultural, economic and political contexts. It is also relevant for the work of civil society movements. Gender refers to socially constructed differences between men and women. Sex refers to biological differences between men and women. Being socially constructed, gender differences vary depending on age, marital status, religion, ethnicity, culture, and so on.
In taking account of gender, development practitioners and social movement activists are looking at disparities that exist in male and female rights, responsibilities, and voice in community and national levels. Men and women often have different priorities, preferences with respect to development, and be affected differently by development projects and campaigns. To enhance effectiveness, these considerations must be addressed in all program and campaign design and interventions. If such considerations are not addressed thoughtfully, these interventions can lead not only to inefficient and unsustainable results, but may also exacerbate existing inequities. Understanding gender issues can enable projects to take account of these and build in capacity to deal with inequitable impacts and to ensure sustainability.
Development analysts have recognized now for several decades the need to ensure that gender is examined and integrated into development projects.  In integrating gender into development, practitioners are responding to the priority needs of women and men, and being aware of what benefits or adverse effects could impact either.
