  • Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality (IANWGE)
    The Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality (IANWGE) is a network of Gender Focal Points in United Nations offices, specialized agencies, funds and programmes. It meets annually and has a number of inter-sessional task forces on specific gender related topics.


  • Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)
    The Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) was established in June 1992 and provides a forum that brings together a broad range of UN and non-UN humanitarian partners including UN humanitarian agencies, IOM, three consortia of major international NGOs and the Red Cross movement represented by ICRC and IFRC. The IASC formulates humanitarian policy to ensure coordinated and effective humanitarian response to both complex emergency and to natural disasters.
