Tonnoma’s Story: Women’s Work and Empowerment in Burkina Faso is based on actual events and the experiences of numerous women. It draws directly from the results of qualitative research on the factors impeding or promoting women’s ability to work in Burkina Faso. It offers readers a glimpse into the daily lives of women who live in a rural environment and want to work. This book shows us that emotional relationships matter, that the social and cultural landscape we are born into matters, and that if we want to conduct effective development, we have to listen carefully to the beneficiaries. How do they perceive their circumstances? What influences their behaviors? What helps or hinders women’s access to employment—in their view? This book encourages readers to reflect on how to conduct more beneficiary-centered and participatory international development that better responds to realities on the ground. 2020-12-11T15:46:22Z 2020-12-11T15:46:22Z 2021-03-02 Book https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/525921614756103235/tonnomas-story-womens-work-and-empowerment-in-burkina-faso 978-1-4648-1645-1 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34920 International Development in Focus; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Publication Africa Africa Western and Central (AFW) Burkina Faso |
