Closing date: 20 Jul 2009
Location: Kenya - Nairobi
Request for Proposal – UNIFEM
1.0 Background
The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) works for the promotion of women’s empowerment, rights and gender equality globally.
In the current context of the new management approach to development assistance brought about by the adoption of the Paris Declaration, gender mainstreaming will be critical in ensuring that gender equality issues do not disappear as a result of the new aid modalities such as budget support, sector wide approaches (SWAPs) and basket funding.
The focus by the Paris Declaration on national ownership and leadership further requires the use of coordinated mechanisms for consistency in gender mainstreaming approaches.
It is against this background that UNIFEM is initiating a regional study on gender mainstreaming mechanisms in Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan.
