ANNUAL MEETINGS
The IANWGE meets annually in New York prior to the annual meetings of
the Commission on the Status of Women. These once-a-year meetings have
permitted a review of the activities of the different parts of the
system during the previous year, providing feedback to agencies,
fine-tuning of activities and ensuring relevant follow-up action by all
members. The meetings have also created a structured policy discussion
of emerging challenges, and identified issues of common concern for
future attention. The results of the discussions at the meetings of the
Network are often fed into the CSW session through the opening statement
of the Chair of IANWGE.
Intersessional meetings of IANWGE members are held in the course of the
year at different duty stations. These have included meetings of the
Geneva, Addis Ababa and Rome, as well as New York based entities. At the
country level, links between agency Gender Focal Points have been
promoted in response to UNDAF programming. The outcome of these informal
meetings and the inter-sessional progress reports of task managers are
shared electronicaly with all members of the Network. Meetings are also
organized on specific issues in New York and in other United Nations
centres, such as Geneva

Gender Mainstreaming Workshops
At the annual session of the Inter-Agency Committee in
2000 concern was expressed by members that, although gender mainstreaming is an integral part of their work,
not enough time was set aside in the context of the annual sessions for exchange on approaches and methodologies
for promoting the strategy. Given this expressed need and the keen interest in the topic, members recommended
that a one-day workshop on gender mainstreaming be organized in conjunction with the annual session in 2001. The
workshop had the objective to provide an opportunity for members to present concrete experiences in bringing
gender perspectives to the centre of attention in policy and programme development, intergovernmental processes
as well as in developing capacity among professional staff for gender mainstreaming. The workshop gave participants
the possibility to exchange views on strategies for increasing the focus on gender perspectives in the substantive
work programmes of their entities. Learn more >>
