What is GAD?
Gender and Development or GAD primarily promotes women’s empowerment and ensure that their full participation becomes essential for society. It has been formed by the government to respond to the gender imbalances and inequalities existing in the country. GAD works to eradicate gender biases to fully release the potential of women so they can perform active roles in the development process. Overall, GAD is not only about women and their rights but also about men and women in sharing benefits and responsibilities.
