Woman in developmental approach:
Woman in development (WID) gave a voice to woman and pushes the issues of gender inequality into the centre stage of the international development regime. Woman were being left out development practice, research and policy. Some of the woman who was not benefiting fully and their status was made worse by development. The woman in development approach saw this problem as the exclusion of woman in development programs and approaches. The WID approach argued for the integration of woman in development programmes to improve woman's position in society. Although the WID approach has it's limitations, it increased the visibility of woman in development.
The woman and development (WAD):
The woman and development approach comes from the perspective that equality will be essential to improving woman's positions. It focused on the social relations existing between woman and men with woman always playing roles in their societies as productive and reproductive actors.
I would say that the woman in development are most useful in the South Africa context. Because woman in SA is still regarded as someone with less value and are looked upon. There are still a huge gap between men and woman in SA, and that needs to change.
