Gender equality and the empowerment of women are at the heart of UNDP’s development mandate. First and foremost, gender equality is a matter of human rights. It is also a driver of development progress. Unless women and girls are able to fully realize their rights in all spheres of life, human development
will not be advanced.
With this Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017, UNDP is well placed to ensure that gender equality and the empowerment of women are integrated into every aspect of its work to support countries to eradicate poverty and
reduce inequalities and exclusion.
Hi! I gave this presentation back in Fall 2013, to an audience of people who were actually there while I was there. It was nuts. My intention with that presentation was to have these slides up in the background while I gave further details on whatever particular slide we were on, using my mouth box supplemented/augmented/enhanced/more business lingo'd with/by index cards, brain memory, body motion and physical presence, pictures lovingly hand-crafted right there on the spot, and more things of that nature. So, in the presentation's current format on this website, some slides on their own might not be quite as enlightening or useful without at least some person there to yap about things or make hand signals or draw pictures to explain what a slide was intended to represent. I also believe that I want to update this presentation a bit further now, given that I have even more impressive knowledges stored into my stupid, ugly head than I did way back then. So... with all that being said, I hope you understand that this piece is not quite complete just on its own. It is not just yet, at least.
Any questions, suggestions, comments, complaints, compliments, etc. that you may have for me/about this piece-- and anything that you want me to clarify, flesh out, correct, and so on-- please feel free to let me know. Thank you for your time.
