The paper, produced by BRIDGE, argues that women, especially poor women, have been marginalised within the decision-making process of PRSPs at government and civil society level, and gender equality issues have been sidelined. One of the recommendations of the paper is to include the collection and analysis of sex-disaggregated data in order to enhance the development of gender-sensitive poverty reduction strategies. This should include strengthening the link between gender research and policy interventions.
