Advocating inclusive and gender-responsive economic development on a global level
Through its Trade, Gender and Development Programme, UNCTAD helps its member States:
-
Assess the distinct effect of economic policies, and especially trade policy, on men and women, and boys and girls.
-
Identify gender-based constraints that impede inclusive development and devise strategies and policy measures to overcome them.
-
Strengthen their capacity to mainstream gender into trade policy formulation and implementation, and in negotiations of trade and other agreements at the multilateral, regional and bilateral levels.
