TASK FORCES
The IANWGE agenda has always been strongly issue-driven.
The Network has responded proactively to critical issues on the
development agenda. This includes the integration of gender perspectives
into the preparation of, and follow-up to, international conferences
and summits, including the Millennium Summit and Declaration,
and in the implementation of important resolutions (of the General
Assembly, the ECOSOC and the Commission on the Status of Women,
as well as of governing bodies of United Nations entities). The
most recent work undertaken by the IANWGE responds to ongoing
and emerging challenges identified by the twenty-third special
session of the General Assembly (Beijing + 5), the Commission
on the Status of Women, ECOSOC, the General Assembly, and, for
the first time, the Security Council. These include gender mainstreaming
in programme budget processes, in CCA/UNDAF, in peace and security,
and in the financing for development agenda. Members also jointly
identify and tackle issues and processes requiring further attention
in the implementation of gender mainstreaming, particularly in
the area of methods development.
The IANWGE works through a system of ad hoc task
forces with designated task managers, and through informal inter-sessional
meetings.
Task Forces
The Network establishes task forces with specific
time-limited mandates and designated task managers to work on
identified priority areas. The Terms of Reference for the task
forces are endorsed by the Inter-Agency Network as a whole and
all task forces report to the Network during its annual meeting.
