Gender and conflict in Africa: Annotated bibliography
August 2005
USAID

This annotated bibliography provides summaries of articles, toolkits and other materials on gender and conflict in Africa. It is meant to complement a ‘Gender and Conflict in Africa Resource Guide’ that identifies and provides Web links to organizations and other resources that work on humanitarian, transition and development issues and programming in conflict-affected societies in Africa.

The issues that women face in conflict-affected settings span across many sectors. These entries reflect the wide-ranging and complex issues that must be addressed in societies that are in the midst of or recovering from conflict as well as the diverse roles that women play in war and in peace building. The bibliography includes, but is not limited to, providing information in the following areas: genderbased violence; protection; disarmament, demobilization and reintegration; health; HIV/AIDS; psychosocial issues; education, livelihoods; democracy and governance; and women’s roles in promoting peace at local, national and regional levels. These entries are organized thematically, when possible. Some of the resources are overlapping. As such, they are listed as general peace building and conflict resolution sources. Country-specific resources are listed at the end of the document.

A ‘Gender and Conflict in Africa: Best Practices’ document was also produced. It looks across these sectors in order to identify the various ways women are impacted by conflict and provides examples of best practices that can serve as resources for managers and practitioners who design and implement projects in conflict-affected societies.
