1. INTRODUCTION

This bibliographic search was prepared by BRIDGE for the Danish Ministry of ForeignAffairs (DANIDA). The bibliography is intended as background information for a NepalGender Profile focused on the sectors; education; environment and natural resourcemanagement; energy; decentralisation; and legal status.

The databases searched included the British Library of Development Studies; CAB Abstracts;Academic Index; Sociological Abstracts; Econlit; Geobase; PAIS; IntelEc; UNBIS; andParticipatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) materials at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).

This bibliography was compiled by Zoë Oxaal for BRIDGE at IDS. Sally Baden providedadvice. This bibliographic search aims to be comprehensive of recent literature on the sectorsspecified but is not exhaustive. It covers materials which could be identified within the timeframe allowed. The entries are ordered under headings as listed in the table of contents. Theentries vary in both content and format due to the different sources searched. Some abstractsare provided in cases where they were readily available. The bibliography includesunpublished literature from women's organisations as well as published sources. For sectorsin which scant literature directly addressing the topic was found, references likely to coverrelevant issues have been included. Section 8 is comprised of other references collected inthe course of the search, but does not attempt to be comprehensive in its coverage.

Women and community forestry in Nepal: expectations and realities.PERSONAL AUTHOR: Tinker,-I.SOURCE: Society-and-Natural-Resources. 1994. 7(4), pp 367-381.AB: Community forestry programs in Nepal, based on the erroneous assumption that farmingfamilies are the major cause of deforestation, ignore other critical causes. Recent emphasis onthe inclusion of women in these programs, based on the recognition of women's subsistenceactivities and understanding of nature, minimizes fundamental constraints embedded inNepalese society. A review of community forestry programs funded by international agenciesand nongovernmental organizations indicates increasing participation of both women andmen at the community level. Exaggerated expectations of the potential of community forestryin solving Nepal's ecological crisis could undermine the fragile gains of Nepali women. -AuthorAN: (1073168); 95V-00593

AB: This paper discusses the experiences of the Nepal-Australia Forestry Project from 1978until 1988. The research, aimed at improving the productivity of the forests, was developed inresponse to the expressed needs of the local people, although there were no qualitative norquantitative data on forest use. Changes were introduced at the panchayat level by localinitiatives. A series of questions were discussed concerning available land, species to beplanted, forest protection, and other topics that arose during the course of the project.Examples of this action research are described together with changes in community andprivate forest species and management practices that result from the direct participation oflocal mountain communities. It is noted, however, that user groups tend to be dominated bymen and by those of higher caste and higher economic status, whereas it is the women and thepoor who depend on the forests for fuelwood and fodder products; changes may be needed toensure sustainable utilization of forests and a reasonable equity in the distribution of benefits.-from AuthorAN: (0899918); 92V-01763

Women, poverty and resources.PERSONAL AUTHOR: Wignaraja,-P.SOURCE: (Sage, New Delhi), 1990, 241 pp, index.AB: Over the past decade, both women's movements and national policy-makers in SouthAsia and elsewhere have begun to recognise the crucial inter-linkage between gender andequity in poverty alleviation and sustainable development. The author surveys the work of anumber of grassroots women's organisations in Bangladesh, Nepal, India and Pakistan, asalso related processes in Africa and Latin America. Based on this field experience, he outlinesthe alternative approach for alleviating the poverty which afflicts both rural and urbanwomen. He argues that the solution lies in collective action by women's groups usingprimarily local resources and knowledge. In order for these processes to be replicated on alarger scale, they may require the support of sensitive NGOs, banks, government agencies anddonors. -from PublisherAN: (0849192); 91V-02195

Rural Development Centre, Pokhara, Nepal. Banko Janakari vol. 3 (1): p.3-7 Publication Year: 1991 Language: English Document Type: Journal article In response to the need for greater participation by villagers in the community forestryprogramme of Nepal, a forestry training initiative has been established by the UnitedMission to Nepal (UMN). This article explains the importance of the courses, anddescribes their contents and methods. The primary objective of the courses is tomotivate the participants by helping them to analyse their present situation and to see what possibilities exist to improve it. Courses last from 6 to 10 days and are designed for 2different groups. There is a course for farmers which emphasizes the management ofprivately owned resources, and one for committee members that considers themanagement of community resources. There is, however, considerable overlap in thematerial. Occasional courses are also provided for basic development workers andmotivation staff. These are designed to assist them in the work of encouraging farmersand committee members who have attended the training courses. One-week courses arealso available to enable farmers to set up and run a small private nursery close to their home.It is emphasized that courses will be successful only if they are seen as a part of the activitiesof a project or local organization. Participants will need ongoing support to implement anyresulting activities; hence a follow-up visit to the home of each of the trainees is madelater in the year by one of the training staff. Ways of enabling more women to participate arebeing considered. 6 ref.?�t 03185552/7

School of Social Work, Washington University, Missouri, USA. Himalayan Research Bulletin vol. 13 (1/2): p.54-59 Publication Year: 1993 BIDS Language: English Document Type: Journal article Forest destruction is a threat to environmental stability and the equitable economic development of people in developing countries. This is particularly true in the Himalayan region, where rural people spend a large proportion of their time collecting scarce forest resources. The efforts of the government and forestry officials to increase forest resources are insufficient and inefficient. However, studies have shown that in spite of tenure problems and lack of policy support, rural people in the Himalayan region have planted, protected and managed forest resources on their own land and community land. Current knowledge about these local initiatives is insufficient to make appropriate policy changes. This paper emphasizes the need to study the nature, scope and policy implications of rural people's initiatives to plant, protect and sustainably use trees on their own land and on community land in the Himalayan region, particularly in Nepal. 40 ref.?�t 03159459/7

Communications. p.420-424 Publication Year: 1994 Publisher: CIRAD-SAR Montpellier, France ISBN: 2-87614-181-7 Language: English Summary Language: french Document Type: Conference paper; Book chapter This paper highlights the gender roles in agroforestry management and the impact of women on the tree planting programme conducted by the Pakhribas Agricultural Centre (a multidisciplinary semigovernmental organization with the main objective of developing agricultural and rural situations in eastern Nepal). Data were gathered through formal survey, participatory rural appraisal (PRA), and rapid rural appraisal (RRA). Results indicated strong interaction among the agroforestry components, ie, crops, trees, and livestock. It was found that women worked for 12 hours 49 minutes per day, while men worked eight hours five minutes. The analysis of labour-use patterns for agroforestry activities revealed significant differences in the involvement of women as compared with that of men. Preference criteria for tree species were also different by gender. Overall, women are more involved than men in agroforestry production and management activities. The tree planting programme conducted by the Pakhribas Agricultural centre has brought about some changes including changes in livestock population, livestock management, availability of bedding material and some fodder, and also the division of labour. With the household changed from a free-grazing livestock system to stall feeding, the women find they have more work, as the children who once took care of the livestock now attend school. 7 ref.?�t 02881004/7

Language: English Document Type: Conference paper; Journal article Most development specialists recognize that women play a vital role in

forest resource management. However, involving women who are illiterate or semi-literate and overburdened with farm and household work in forest management activities is a challenge. In general, rural women lack basic information about new activities, and what information they receive is filtered through their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. Because most community forestry training is directed towards literate people and conducted at district level, women are usually deprived of opportunities for training. This paper reports on how the Nepal-Australia Community Forestry Project (NACFP) started conveying development messages while implementing training at the village level. One such training programme started with the building of smokeless stoves (chulo) out of locally available materials, as a means of reducing fuel consumption and associated women's labour. The process of communicating the community forestry message to women during the stove training programme is described. The need to identify and act on the needs of women is emphasized, and a methodology for involving women in community forestry is outlined. 2 ref.?�t 0288� �� �� �� �02849793/7

Participatory hygiene education for women can improve domestic sanitationand increase hygienic use of domestic water, but for fully effective and efficient use ofcommunity water supplies, women need to be involved in water supply management fromat least the design stage of the supply. A case study of the UK/Nepal Eastern Region WaterSupplies Project (ESWSP) demonstrates the value of water consumer involvement inprojects at the earliest possible stage. It is suggested that early participation of all theconsumers in water supply schemes will result in more effective use of available water,less pilfering of materials, improved construction, more appropriately sited standpipes withconsequent increased utilization and maintenance of pipelines.?�t 02801512/7

K.; Hotchkiss, D. International Food Policy Research Institute, 1776 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20036 USA. Research Report - International Food Policy Research Institute (No. 69): 72pp. Publication Year: 1988 13 fig., 27 tab., OQEH Language: English Document Type: Miscellaneous The hill areas of Nepal are a prime example of an area in which low productivity agriculture is surrounded by rapid environmental degradation as the result of deforestation. The study is based on results from a survey of 120 households in three hill districts of the Western Development Region, conducted in 1982/83 jointly with the Agricultural Projects Services Centre of Nepal and the FAO. Results indicate that when deforestation, represented by the time required to collect a standard load of firewood, increased by 1.0% there was a reduction in fuelwood consumption of 0.3% and an increase in the total time required for its collection of 0.6%. Assuming a similar response for other essential forest products, the collection time for fuelwood, leaf fodder, and grass alone required an additional 1.13 hours per day by women in the high deforestation sites in the sample. The effects of this on the amount of labour available for agriculture indicate that women's farm labour would decrease by 1.4 hours per person per day, a decrease not compensated for by an increase in wage labour or by men's labour, which may also decrease. In addition to the effects of deforestation on agricultural production and incomes, secondary or associated effects could be related to fuel consumption and time spent on food preparation. The main determinants of preschool child nutrition are degree of deforestation, household income, household size, and work loads of women and older children. The results suggest that it is not enough to rely on out-migration or reforestation efforts alone to improve the economy and ecology of the region. Strategies for raising agricultural productivity need to be considered.?�t 01215988/7

Journal for Farming Systems Research-Extension vol. 6 (1): p.13-26 Publication Year: 1996 ISSN: 1051-6786 Language: English Document Type: Journal article Gender analysis has been identified as a useful tool in the diagnostic phase of farming systems research. The tool was used for identifying the gender (men and women) roles in terms of labour contribution in household, farm and animal production, and fuelwood and fodder collection in two distinct communities (indigenous Tharus and non-indigenous Brahmins and Chhetries) of Chitwan, Nepal where integrated rice-based farming systems are practiced. Results showed that women participated equally or sometimes even more than men in different rice farming and livestock production activities. Women were exclusively involved in fuelwood and fodder collection from the nearby forest. Brahmin and Chhetry farmers were raising large animals such as cattle and buffaloes, whereas the indigenous Tharu farmers were raising small animals such as goats. Because of such differences in the preferences of animals, women of the two communities chose different multipurpose tree species for on-farm testing in the project. Children's contribution was also noteworthy in both communities. Results suggest that gender analysis can be an appropriate tool in identifying gender roles and technology options for rice farming systems where agriculture, livestock and forestry are integrated and interrelated components of the systems. 17 ref.?�t 03303177/7

Language: English Document Type: Journal article Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries and has one of the world's lowest literacy rates (26% in 1985). This paper draws on seven evaluations conducted under the National Literacy Programme in Nepal between 1986 and 1990. These are: (1) Women's Social Service Coordinating Committee (1986-87); (2) World Education Project (1989); (3) Ministry of Education pilot effort (1988-89); (4) Production Credit for Rural Women's Programme, UNICEF (1989-90); (5) Small Farmer Development Project, UNICEF (1989-90); (6) Primary Education Project, UNICEF (1989-90); and (7) Save the Children study (1988). These evaluations, which are reviewed, and from which inferences are drawn, focus on five adult literacy programmes and two out-of-school child programmes. Though different institutions managed the implementation of the programmes all used the same materials and instruction design and were extensively field tested and revised. They

26

therefore constitute a good source of data with which to examine the following issues: drop-out rates, female participation, language of instruction, skill acquisition, skill retention, changes in attitude and knowledge, effects on the primary schools and costs. This synthesis questions some commonly held beliefs but also reinforces common sense ideas. It is clear that good instructional design and materials as well as training inputs in literacy teachers are good investments. It recommends systematic research and monitoring to provide sound advice in using limited resources to meet the goal of universal literacy, whilst building a system that will provide universal access to quality primary schools. 17 ref.?�t 02630641/7

Women in higher education; progress, constraints and promising initiativesAU:Subbarao,-K.; Raney,-l.; Dundar,-H.; Haworth,-J.SO: WOrld Bank Discussion Papers. 1994.244, 81ppAB: Two issues are examined in this paper. First, how did women fare in the wake of thegeneral expansion of tertiary enrollments? Second, what programs and policies contributed toenhancing women's enrollment in the context of World Bank project experience? Part Ishows that despite the potential of women's higher education up to economic growth, a'gender gap' in enrollments at the tertiary level is pervasive, especially in sub-Saharan Africa,the Middle East, and South Asia. In Part II, the policies that were explicitly tried to increasewomen's access are eamined with reference to the World Bank's project experience from1972-92. In terms of broad patterns across countries, the reviewed evidence suggests thatcountries with low per capita income levels and difficul social setting (e.g. India, Pakistan,Nepal, Bangladesh and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa), may have the greatest barriersto female participation. In such situations, a promising approach is the introduction ofmultiple components in the projects to overcome an array of social and economic barrierswhich inhibit female participation in higher education. By contrast, in low income countrieswith less severe social constraints, expansion of places has been generally successful.However even in these countries, establishing a link between the programs offered and theopportunities for women in the labour market was found to be critical. -from AuthorsAN: (1071724); 95V-00511

In contrast to past efforts, this programmefocuses on the training of rural village women with the aim of addressing maternal and childhealth. Given the extended scope of the new programme it is important to examine thesuccesses and failures of past attempts, so what lessons learnt can be applied to the trainingand support of what will amount to the largest work-force in Nepal's health care system. Thischapter describes the way in which CHW programmes in Nepal have developed. It considersthe problems that have been encountered, describes the way in which these have been tackled,and considers the way in which international health policies and donor priorities have shapedthe development of these programmes. -from AuthorsAN: (0981475); 93V-02934

Hinduism, tribalism and the position of women: the problem of Newar identity.PERSONAL AUTHOR: Gellner,-D.-N.SOURCE: Man. 1991. 26(1), pp 105-125.AB: A dichotomous Hindu v tribal or caste v tribe model is frequently used to analyze therelationship between dominant and peripheral groups in South Asia. Using data from theNewars of Nepal, it is argued that this model reflects indigenous stereotypes, especiallyconcerning the position of women. Historical data and contemporary practice show that theoft-cited freedom of Newar women to divorce and remarry without stigma probably only everapplied to low castes and outlying villages. The mock marriage of Newar girls to a god, whilea ritual adaptation to the norms of Brahmanism, does not prevent a Newar woman fromexperiencing widowhood. A trichotomous model, the components of which are brieflysketched, is proposed that is better able to capture the complexity of current ethnographic factand of its possible historical antecedents. -AuthorAN: (0890745); 92H-00401

ISSN: 0022-0388 4 tab., 1 app. Language: English Document Type: Journal article Forest conversion by agricultural households is the leading cause of deforestation. Little is known about agricultural household use of forest and tree products. This paper examines household production of and demand for fuelwood and fuel substitutes in two districts of Nepal. Women play a larger role in collection in the district dependent on production from common forest lands while men and agricultural capital are more important inputs in the district dependant on production from private lands. Demand elasticities for fuelwood, combustible agricultural residues and improved stoves are also measured, each by household income group. All price and income demand elasticities are less than one. Residues are more important substitutes for low income households and improved stoves are more important substitutes for high income households. Consumption evidence shows that both fuelwood and combustible crop residues tend to be inferior goods. There are favourable implications for Nepal's environment as household incomes grow, with more households converting from residues to fuelwood, eventually growing their own fuelwood. Meanwhile, non-agricultural households will convert to substitute fuels and fuel technologies. This suggests that forestry development activities will be most important for Nepal now, in the period before development proceeds far, and before traditional demands on the forest environment change. 14 ref.?�t 02772187/7

Forestry has become an important issue in economic development. It is primarily women and children who collect fuelwood for domestic consumption in developing countries. Therefore, forestry activities that increase the availability of fuelwood and development projects that promote improved stoves both release women's labour from fuel collection and permit its use in other productive activities, and improve the agricultural environment by permitting crop residues to be better used for enriching depleted soil. This paper assesses this argument, using an analysis of survey data for traditional households from two districts in the east-central hills of Nepal, Sindhupalchok and Kavreplanchok. The analysis begins with a utility maximizing household model which includes various labour and capital inputs, and allows jointness in the household production and consumption decisions involving fuelwood, food crops, and combustible residues. Empirical estimates of the model for each district are used to examine the following hypotheses: (i) community forests are a crucial source of fuelwood; (ii) women and children are the crucial collectors of fuelwood; and (iii) agricultural residues and improved stoves are substitutes for fuelwood in consumption. 9 ref.?�t 02755945/7

Order Number: DA9004461 Language: English Document Type: Journal article Despite the alarming decrease of forest, almost 90% of cooking fuel energy in the hill regions of Nepal still comes from wood. In the last several years fuel efficient cooking wood stoves (new stoves) have been designed and distributed to reduce the pressure on forest resources of Nepal. Many households who received new stoves have not been using them. This study examines the effect of individual, socio-cultural and technological factors on the level of use of new stoves among Brahmin and Chhetri households in the villages of central Nepal. Factors studied include perceived relative advantage, perceived cultural compatibility, and perceived complexity of new stoves, social support for adoption of new stoves, attitudes towards technology and innovations in general, knowledge about use and maintenance of improved stoves and demographic characteristics of new stove recipients and their level of adoption of new stoves. A total of 100 new stove receivers were interviewed, of whom 48 were not using their new stoves. The determining factors explain 71% of variance in the level of use of new stoves.?�tb� � 02106120/7

the awareness of the problem among all consumers in the country. This paper evaluates the awareness about energy conservation among rural people, in an effort to promote more efficient utilization of energy resources. The various sources of energy available in Pakistan are first mentioned with appropriate statistical evidence. The fact that conservation and national use are basically behavioural considerations has to be addressed by raising education, motivation and welfare levels within the rural population. Effective participation in the conservation strategy is presently limited by inadequate incentives to reduce energy consumption, the absence of appropriate infrastructural arrangements and limited access to women, among other factors. The role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in reaching target groups and providing them with strategies for community development is crucial to the success of the conservation strategy. In conclusion, a Plan of Action is presented for implementation at the district level in Pakistan, by means of pilot projects. 7 ref.?�t 02436668/7

The society has passed through four major phases of development,expansion and diversification: Phase I: Sulabh Shauchalaya for the household; PhaseII: Sulabh public conveniences; Phase III harnessing bioenergy from Sulabh publicconveniences; Phase IV: concerted R & D and training programmes. These are discussedseparately and in detail. Latterly, to make the programme more directly relevant to women,Sulabh International has started the Women's Welfare Wing, working in six villages in Bihar.

The study showed that males have horizontal communication among themselves while females are active seekers of information and have both horizontal as well as heterogeneous communication patterns. These differential communication patterns are significant for extension interventions as extension workers would be able to facilitate rapid flow of information through appropriate members of the networks as local channels in the community. Extension organizations would also be able to redesign extension strategies and methods to reach women farmers effectively while groups could be formed along network membership. This may require training of extension workers with regard to interpersonal communication processes and a network approach to diffusion of innovations. 28 ref.?�t 03256635/7

A study is presented of the causes of failure of farmer groups in Nepal. Conducted during 1992/93 three categories of groups were identified based on the problems observed in each group, and were termed: Highly Problematic Groups (HPG), Partial Problematic Groups (PPG) and Less Problematic Groups (LPG). The study surveyed 36 groups from the Dhankuta district, with in-depth interviews with three male, and three female groups (one from each of the three categories of groups). The results of the study also included an analysis of gender. Results indicate that groups with greater than average land holdings show a better effect on group development. Development of functional groups was also encouraged when group members come from similar areas, altitudes, socioeconomic status, and were in close physical proximity. Recommendations are presented to encourage the development of functional groups. 13 ref.?�t 03913588/7

The extent to which Nepalese ruralwomen vary their subsistence responsibilities during pregnancy and lactation is examined bycomparing mothers with a non-childbearing sample. The remarkable behavioral similaritybetween the two groups of women when workloads are high is explained by reference tochildcare practices and labor constraints prevailing in the community. -AuthorAN: (0819223); 90V-02539

Opening the box: intrahousehold food allocation in rural Nepal.PERSONAL AUTHOR: Gittelsohn,-J.SOURCE: Social-Science-and-Medicine. 1991. 33(10), pp 1141-1154.AB: The study examined intrahousehold food behaviour in six villages in a rural hill area ofmid-western Nepal. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies taken from both anthropologyand nutritional sciences were used to collect data on food belief systems, householdallocation of food resources, and the effect of these features on diet and anthropometric statusin a sample of 767 individuals in 115 households. Background data were also collected onsocioeconomic status and demographic variables such as education levels, occupation, andmigration patterns. The results document a variety of mechanisms by which some individualsare favored over others through household food distribution, including serving order, servingmethod, refusing to serve foods, channeling foods and substituting low status foods for highstatus foods. No differences were observed in mechanisms of food distribution or nutrientintake between male and female children, but adult women were less likely to meet theirnutrient requirements for energy, beta-carotene, riboflavin, and vitamin C than men of thesame age. -from AuthorAN: (0906392); 92V-02836

Ten per cent of the total households in the eastern hills were headed by a woman, and 95% of these had occurred through the death of the husband, or the divorce or partition of the family due to conflict. Illiteracy, a lack of resources (including a lack of food security), small family size with inactive labour force and a complete dependency on farming were the main characteristics. Decision making was influenced more by the presence or absence of active family members below the household head rather than the lack of a male household head. 9 ref.?�t 03256436/7

Accordingto the World Health Organization (WHO), maternal anaemia is most severe insouthern Asia. Drug retail shops frequently serve as the public's firstpoint of contact for medical care, even though many drug sellers have notraining in the treatment of illness. In western Nepal, drug retailertreatment of anaemia in pregnancy was investigated using interviews, focusgroups and simulated clients ('surrogates ). Research assistants posing asthe husbands of anaemic pregnant women asked retailers for advice. In 112retail shops studied, 71 of the study surrogates were recommended ironsupplements for purchase. Drug recommendations often included vitamins,minerals and other ingredients not therapeutic for pregnancy-relatedanaemia. Retailers were found to take little case history. Fifty-sevenper cent of retailers asked about the duration of the pregnancy; 40 asked

no relevant questions. Advice about the drugs sold was infrequent and 59of the surrogates received no advice of any kind other than a productrecommendation. Knowledge of important referral criteria was alsoespecially low. Although 66 of the retailers had some sort of formaltraining for work with pharmaceuticals, current training levels were notfound to be associated with better knowledge or practice. A focusedtraining intervention to improve retailer treatment of anaemia in pregnantwomen is recommended.
