This work is a resource for gender and development trainers which draws on the work of gender trainers all over the world. It offers field-tested training techniques, activities and photocopiable handouts, drawn from a wide range of sources and shaped into a coherent training programme. The manual includes activities which explore such areas as: gender-awareness and self-awareness for women and men; gender roles and needs; gender-sensitive appraisal and planning; gender and major global issues such as conflict, environment, culture and economic crisis; working with counterparts on gender issues; gender and development; and strategies for change. 

The Oxfam Gender Training Manual is primarily intended as a resource for trainers and organizations concerned with development and relief, in the North and in the South. It should also be of value to any organization attempting to incorporate a gender perspective into its work.
