Our Twin-Fold Strategies

     Women's empowerment
     ". . . is about women gaining control over their lives. It is about women achieving economic and political empowerment within their homes and within their villages, towns, cities, and countries. It is about changing power relations in favor of those who previously exercised little power over their own lives."- Noeleen Heyzer, Executive Director and Co-Chair of the Microcredit Summit's World Council of UN Agencies (Countdown 2005).

     Gender mainstreaming
     . . . is an effort to include a gender framework in the design and implementation of plans and programs and a process by which members of the agency are trained to think gender. It involves allocation of logistics for the conduct of gender-responsive programs as well as the creation of a gender-responsive and gender-sensitive organizational climate.
