the relationship between them and the way it is
socially constructed.  Since gender biases exist and
these biases prevent people from attaining their

full potential, development is impeded. To ensure GENDER AND
that explicit, implicit, actual and potential gender
biases are removed, the government embarked on DEVELOPMENT
gender and development (GAD) as one of its
