Siyanda means "we are growing" (isiZulu)  

Aims and Objectives:
Siyanda aims to be an ever growing resource to support practitioners in implementing gender programmes and in mainstreaming gender equality concerns, whether they are gender specialists or not.

Our main objectives are:

- Presenting short summaries of on-line work to save busy practitioners time in searching for relevant information.

 - Enabling users to download full-length materials quickly and easily, free of charge.

- Facilitating a culture of sharing information and materials on gender and development among people working in this field.

- Working with partner organisations across the world to build an online space that reflects their interests and needs and that connects them with like-minded colleagues.

BRIDGE and the IAC:
Siyanda is hosted by BRIDGE - the gender and development research and information service located at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) (in the United Kingdom). BRIDGE is one of a family of knowledge services from IDS.

The BRIDGE team is involved in maintaining and building the site, with input from partner organisations and individuals working in the field of gender and development, particularly from the International Advisory Committee (IAC). The IAC is made up of twenty-two gender specialist practitioners and policy makers from a range of regions and organisations working with languages French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.

We are grateful for the support of our ongoing Funders.
