SUMMARY:South-South sharing of policy experiences: Mainstreaming gender in 
 national policies
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating International Women&#039\;s DayIt is widely recogni
 zed that meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is inextricably 
 linked with the process of structural transformation.The UNCTAD project 
 “South-South Integration and the SDGs: Enhancing Structural Transformati
 on in Key Partner Countries of the Belt and Road Initiative” identifies 
 key policy areas in which limitations exist in government capacity in many
  countries\, to effectively design\, manage\, coordinate\, implement\, and
  evaluate strategic economic interventions that are the policy levers of s
 tructural transformation.Gender mainstreaming in national policies\, parti
 cularly\, remains a huge challenge in many developing countries.To address
  this gap\, the project aims to share successful experiences of developing
  countries\, with a view to assist national capacity-building. Purpose an
 d objectivesThe meeting will launch a study on ‘Mainstreaming Gender in 
 National Policies’ focusing on pilot countries of the project\, namely\,
  Ethiopia\, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.It will bring together policymakers an
 d experts from different developing countries to discuss the study and sha
 re policy experiences in this area. Programme2–2.30 p.m.Launch of UNCTA
