Working together on Gender Equality in Development and Peace

On the 11 September 2017, the European Commission, the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ITCILO) joined together to support stronger action and advocacy on gender equality to influence the aid effectiveness agenda.

The programme "EC/UN Partnership on Gender Equality for Development and Peace" would support the integration of gender equality as a key driver of development in the international assistance agenda. The programme would also promote the involvement of women in conflict prevention and peace-building in line with the commitments of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
With a total budget of €4,7 million (€2,5 million EC contribution), the programme will have a duration of 3 years (2007-2009) and will cover 12 countries: Cameroon, DRC, Ghana, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Honduras, Nicaragua, Suriname, Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine.
