The vulnerabilities of men have received limited attention in development research and programming. In Liberia, men’s lack of access to employment and land and their loss of traditional power and authority lay at the heart of the violence and conflict that led to the near destruction of the country. It is thus important that men’s concerns, in addition to women’s, be brought into focus in the development literature and practice.This book by the World Bank makes an important contribution to this end.
