A serious and critical review of gender training - what it represents and how it relates and contributes to the successes and failures of gender mainstreaming - had not been undertaken since the Bergen and KIT conferences in the first half of the 1990s. The conference Revisiting studies and training in gender and development (14-16 May 2007, Amsterdam) provided practitioners, activists and academics with an opportunity to gather and reflect on almost 20 years of experience in gender studies and training. The aim was to critically analyse gender training and understand its role and its relations to other efforts to forward gender equality.
