Project summary
The Gender and Developemnt Unit has developed the area of gender, development and transport as a niche area. There has been a clear relationship between the findings and recommendations of our gender and transport study (an audit of women' s travel activities, experiences and needs in rural Eastern Cape, South Africa) at an implementation level as well as scientific endeavours.
As a result of our findings, we hosted - in partnership with the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) and the National Department of Transport - the first International African Conference on Gender, Transport and Development: Bridging the divide between development goals, research and policy in developing countries, NMMU, 27-30 August 2006.
