the poverty rate by 2015, and reach the

Practice: UNDP
Supporting Community Initiatives: The Gender
and Citizenship Initiative.
The Arab Human Development Report 2002,
launched by the United Nations Development
Programme Regional -
Bureau for Arab States (UNDP/RBAS),
identified 'women empowerment' as one of the
three main 'deficits' in the Arab region. To
address this deficit, the Gender and
Citizenship Initiative, was launched in
December 2001 by UNDP/RBAS through its
Programme on Governance in the Arab Region
(UNDP-POGAR).
UNDP-POGAR's Gender & Citizenship
Initiative is cost shared in a partnership
between the
UNDP
Bureau for Arab States (RBAS), the
Regional Governance Programme (POGAR) and
the
International Development Research Center (IDRC)
in Canada.
The Initiative's initial phase (December
2001 to September 2002) consisted primarily
of identifying strategic entry points to the
issue of women's citizenship in the region,
through a number of activities. The
Initiative entered its second phase in
October 2002. During this phase the
Initiative will focus on two specific entry
points related to citizenship in the Arab
world: Nationality legislation, and Identity
Cards. The Initiative is planned to last
until the end of 2004. The initiative is
being implemented in collaboration with key
women's grassroots organizations in the Arab
world. More
