Catherine A. Overholt (born 1942) is a health economist who has assisted many development agencies with gender issues, health economics, case writing and case method training. She is part of the team that developed the Gender Analysis Framework (1984) in cooperation with the Harvard Institute for International Development and the USAID Office of Women in Development.〔 ==Career== Overholt studied at the Harvard University school of public health, where she obtained a doctorate in Health Economics.〔 She became a Lecturer at Harvard's School of Public Health. She has taught workshops on discussion teaching and has directed case development projects. Overholt has undertaken fieldwork in Africa and Latin America.〔 For example, in 1981 Overholt and Richard Goldman published a study of the nutritional impact of a project to increase the productivity of small farmers by introducing a high-yielding maize. The study found that the increase in income had very little effect on increasing calorie intake and made no measurable difference to nourishment of preschool children. The same year she participated in a study of subsidized milk in Mexico. Between 1980 and 1985 Overholt was involved in development of the Harvard Analytical Framework, used to determine how to efficiently allocate resources between men and women in aid projects.〔 Mary B Anderson and Overholt formed Collaborative for Development Action (CDA) as a small consulting company in 1985, working in the areas of health policy, primary and secondary education, rural development, alternative technologies and evaluations.〔 Overholt was Vice President of the company.〔 In 1986 as a consultant for the USAID ''Technologies for Primary Health Care'' (Pritech) project she undertook an evaluation of aid projects in Haiti with Polly Harrison and Maggie Huff. CDA, primarily government-funded, developed the People Oriented Planning Framework for refugee programs and was also involved in work that led to the Do No Harm, Reflecting on Peace Practice, and Corporate Engagement projects.〔 In 1991 Overholt was co-author with James Austin and Ann Sweet of an essay called ''To See Ourselves as Others See Us: The Rewards of Classroom Observation''. This explores the value to a teacher of taking the difficult step of bringing a colleague into the classroom to observe and provide feedback, and has been widely quoted. Overholt retired from CDA to run a small farm that supports reforestation in rural Mexico.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catherine Overholt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
