This Bulletin considers problems in institutionalising gender-sensitive development policy by exploring new gendered perspectives on the structure and functioning of development organisations, as well as strategies to improve their accountability to women. The institutional context for these questions is the developing state and its bureaucracies, and NGOs. The role of women's political mobilisation in improving the accountability of public institutions to women, and the relationship between development institutions and their female constituencies is also explored.

While there is a widely-accepted thesis that economic liberalization and/or political democratization can reduce levels of corruption in developing societies, recent experience suggests that the relationship is variable and in some contexts corruption may increase in consequence. The contributors to this Bulletin examine the relationship between corruption and economic/political liberalization across a wide range of countries and draw implications for designing feasible anti-corruption measures as part of the wider agenda of improving the quality of governance.
