Agency through Development: Hausa Women's NGOs and CBOs in Kano, Nigeria
基于2010-11年在尼日利亚卡诺的访谈，研究豪萨女性参与宗教影响的发展类非政府组织，揭示性别、宗教、阶级、文化、政治与经济的复杂交织，强调女性作为经济发展推动者而非受益者的角色。
Analyzing the participation of Hausa women in religiously influenced nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) devoted to development work provides critical insights into the complex intersection of gender, religion, class, culture, and politics and economics. Based on interviews with leaders and employees of various NGOs, including community-based organizations (CBOs), in Kano, Nigeria, in 2010–11, this in-depth case study provides important examples of how various types of NGOs navigate political pressures when it comes to funding; it recognizes the understudied importance of women's labor contributions in the context of the development apparatus in Africa; it highlights the role of women as progenitors rather than benefactors of economic development; and it illustrates the unique role that faith-based organizations (FBOs) can and do play in terms of reaching certain marginalized segments of the population.
