Gender Mainstreaming
is a globally accepted
strategy for promoting gender equality. Mainstreaming is not an
end in itself but a strategy, an approach, a means to achieve the
goal of gender equality. Mainstreaming involves ensuring that gender
perspectives and attention to the goal of gender equality are central
to all activities - policy development, research, advocacy/ dialogue,
legislation, resource allocation, and planning, implementation and
monitoring of programmes and projects.
Since 1997 the
Assistant Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the Secretary-General
on Gender Issues and the Advancement of Women has been charged
with supporting and overseeing the implementation of the policy
mandates. The mandate of the Special Adviser on gender mainstreaming
covers the whole of the United Nations, and the role of the Office
of the Special Adviser (OSAGI) in this respect is, of necessity,
largely a supportive and advisory one. An important additional
element is monitoring and reporting on progress with gender mainstreaming.
The office has two professional staff dedicated to supporting
gender mainstreaming .
The
Principal Social Affairs Officer (D-1 level) and a Social Affairs
Officer (P-2 level). Involvement in the details of day-to-day
implementation of gender mainstreaming in any one part of the
United Nations is not the aim of OSAGI in its efforts to support
gender mainstreaming. OSAGI supports the efforts of other parts
of the United Nations and reports on progress to the Secretary-General.
In
promoting, facilitating and supporting the implementation of gender
mainstreaming throughout the United Nations, the Office of the
Special Adviser has initiated consultations on gender mainstreaming
with senior management in many different United Nations entities
and developed methodologies, tools and information materials.
The office works to create awareness of the benefits to programme
outcomes of incorporating gender perspectives into work programmes
throughout the United Nations system, including in departments
within the Secretariat. The objective of these efforts is not
to "do" gender mainstreaming for other parts of the
system but to stimulate all entities within the United Nations
to take gender perspectives into account in their work programmes,
as called for in the Platform for Action, ECOSOC Agreed Conclusions
1997/2 and all other intergovernmental mandates.
Progress report from OSAGI Supporting
Gender
Mainstreaming.The
work of the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and
Advancement of Women
A strong, continued
commitment to gender mainstreaming is one of the most effective
means for the United Nations to support promotion of gender equality
at all levels - in research, legislation, policy development and
in activities on the ground, and to ensure that women as well
as men can influence, participate in and benefit from development
efforts. There is a continued need, however, to complement the
gender mainstreaming strategy with targeted interventions to promote
gender equality and women's empowerment, particularly where there
are glaring instances of persistent discrimination of women and
inequality between women and men. |
