F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

It relates strongly to the evaluation of public policies and gender equality by parliaments, as it is about Gender responsive budgeting.

Two resources from CIVICUS

Here are two resources that the community may find useful:

Guidelines for Gender mainstreaming in project stages
<civicus.org/news-and-resources-127/toolkits/670-guidelines-for-gender-mainstreaming-in-project-stages>

The State of Civil Society 2013 Report
<socs.civicus.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013StateofCivilSocietyReport_full.pdf>

Both are connected to CIVICUS, an excellent global organisation, operating from its main base in South Africa.

The resource on on Gender mainstreaming is from 2011, but the Civil Society report is fresh and new, published in recent weeks.

it would be great if people add their thoughts – acclaim and criticism – on what they feel about the contents.

Both are great resources. Especially the second, since I am working on civil society issues. Thank you.
