The participatory urban development programme by the GTZ 1 in El Nasseriya in Aswan/Egypt shows insights on a very heterogeneous community that has been shaped by rural-urban migration. This programme serves as a base to debate limitations and opportunities of participation and gender sensitive approaches within the development discourse by referring to the following scenarios: Firstly, the GTZ failed to implement the participatory component in the planning phase and furthermore, failed to take into consideration the role, needs and resources of women.
