Business Unusual: Gender and economic reporting a Southern African work book

Business Unusual is a practical work book of 8 chapters, 13 fact sheets and a CD-Rom with 30 case studies which address women and the economy and which will help media practitioners and trainers to see the economy through gendered lens.

As a region, the Southern African Development Community seeks to better the lives of its citizens, women and men, through closer regional co-operation. Yet the gender dimensions of macroeconomic policy, budgets, trade, work and business are among the least understood by policy makers, media decision makers and practitioners. Despite the enormous role that women play in the economies of all Southern African countries this contribution remains undervalued and invisible.
