Gender Institute

Each year, since 1994, CODESRIA has organised a Gender Institute which brings together some 12 to 15 researchers for a period of 4 weeks. During their first few years of the Institute, its main objective was to promote gender awareness. The Institute has subsequently been organised around specific themes to promote the strengthening of gender analysis in African social science research.
