ABSTRACT
This book presents a research and capacity development experience in MENA region. The project, in which the presented research was implemented, was formulated on the hypothesis that among the reasons for the very slow development of gender research capacity in the MENA region is paucity of local reference of research experience. As a result this project had two main objectives: 1) to conduct case studies of gender research in order to generate local experiences for reference in the region and collate them in the form of a reference book and 2) to build the capacity of research teams in gender research. The results of these two main objectives have been presented in this volume.
