This publication presents grassroots women's initiatives from five different countries (Czech Republic, India, Kenya, Peru and Russia) providing insights into the participation of local communities in decentralized decision making and local governance, including sustaining grassroots women's leadership in redeveloping families, homes, communities, and economies in crisis situations such as disasters.
The India case study describes a working partnership between grassroots women, district-level health officials and health service providers that reached out over 300,000 families and mobilized grassroots women's groups around reconstruction and local governance issues in some of the most disaster-prone districts of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
