Gender equality and sexual diversity at UNDP

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Argentina actively works to promote gender equality and sexual diversity across all its initiatives. This commitment is closely linked to its intense work on human development and the realization of human rights. In this regard, and within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as stated in Goal 5, gender equality is essential for achieving equitable development, improving living conditions, and expanding the decision-making capacities of all people.

For this reason, UNDP has worked over the years through its Country Programme, to mainstream a perspective on gender equality into public policies; to design specific policies for the promotion of gender equality and women's rights; to strenghten technical capacities for the promotion of gender equality; and to develop monitoring and follow-up tools with a gender perspective. It has also promoted the building of alliances and consensus for the achievement of gender equality and has developed actions to coordinate experiences at the national level with those at the Latin American and global levels.
