Event Summary

The objective of the event is to share a common, global set of minimum standards that encourages organizations to commit to and invest in efforts that advance gender equality for all. We seek to harmonize the practice of mainstreaming gender into programing and organization to promote increased communication and coordination, offering an agreed-upon set of minimum standards to further encourage organizations to commit to and invest in efforts that will advance gender equality among development practitioners. It is envisioned that all organizations working in the field of international development and humanitarian response recognize, adopt, and, adhere, and hold themselves accountable to a minimum level of gender mainstreaming in their organization widely, and specifically in programs.
