Volume 4, Number 1
April 1998

Welcome to the sixth edition of the Gender CG Newsletter. The newsletter is intended to be a hard-copy complement to the Gender CG Network, an electronic network that connects researchers working on gender and intrahousehold issues in the areas of agriculture, natural resources management, food security, and nutrition. Our membership now stands at over 400. This edition reports on new topics discussed on the network since June 1997, including gender and social capital, time allocation and child nutrition, gender research at several international agricultural research centers, and announcements about gender-related training programs and print and Internet resources.

Two topics in particular generated a significant amount of discussion: how to relate the notion of social capital to gender research, and why households benefitting from land reform might show persistently lower levels of child nutrition than those households not benefitting from reform.
