| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
After the Second World War, the British Colonial Office deepened its involvement in social welfare in the Colonies, in close cooperation with non-state actors; voluntary groups and universities. Based on historical documents held by the Women's Library and the UK National Archives, this study explored the details of Colonial social welfare policy and the activities by non-state actors, especially the National Federation of Women's Institutes. From 1945 to 1954, the Colonial Office social welfare policy went through its particular formative process, with increased priority given to Community Development. This resulted in official focus on native women, which led to the formation of special working group (in 1950) and sub-committee on women's activities in colonies. Activities of the NFWI during the 1950s reflected this official social welfare policy. Indeed, in 1952, the NFWI succeeded in founding a Women's Institutes in Malaya. This experience widened the NFWI's overs activities.
