Abstract:
This selection of papers represents the fourth in a series of essay competitions jointly sponsored by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR). The first competition was undertaken in 1989-1990; researchers were invited to submit papers on the theme of women and tropical diseases. A selection of the top 10 papers was published by IDRC under the title Women and Tropical Diseases. Criteria for judgement included scientific merit, relevance to gender issues, innovative ideas, research recommendations, review of the literature, and knowledge of the field. Although the general quality of the papers was excellent, the competition highlighted a gap in research on tropical diseases and gender, that is, the sociocultural differences pertaining to the roles that men and women perform. Hoping to further research and understanding in this field, IDRC and TDR sponsored subsequent competitions in 1992, 1993, and 1994. Abstracts from the third competition, titled Gender and Tropical Diseases: Facing the Challenge, are published in Gender, Health, and Sustainable Development: Proceedings of a Workshop held in Nairobi, Kenya, 5-8 October, 1993.
