BCPR’s Gender Experts Meeting and Strategy Session, 12-15 September 2006, London

On 12-15 September 2006, the Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR) convened a Gender Experts Meeting and Strategy Session at the London School of Economics in London, England. The event brought together a diverse mix of academics, development practitioners, representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other BCPR partners. The meeting was organized around the key BCPR outcome areas of Prevention and Recovery. Team leaders and gender focal points from each BCPR unit exchanged perspectives on the integration of gender equality perspectives in crisis prevention and recovery with the experts. The ultimate aim was to agree on the most appropriate strategic approach to be taken by the Bureau in this area of work. The four-day meeting resulted in the definition of a strategic approach and concrete recommendations on the Bureau’s work on gender and CPR, which will inform BCPR’s 2007-2011 strategy. These recommendations are reflected in an Agenda for Gender Equality in Crisis Prevention and Recovery, which outlines the strategic approach to be taken by UNDP/BCPR in this area of work. The recommendations of the meeting will be integrated in the BCPR’s 2007-2011 strategy and will form the basis of a comprehensive implementation plan on gender mainstreaming for the next five years, encompassing support to human resource capacity, funding, programming, and tools and methodologies to enhance UNDP’s contribution to gender equality objectives in the context of CPR work.
