Gender Equality Seal

for Development

Our mission

The UNDP Gender Equality Seal for Development is UNDP's flagship initiative to build gender capacities and achieve transformational gender equality results. The Gender Seal supports and incentivizes development organizations to integrate gender into all the work they do – proving that when you walk the talk on gender equality, your organization will strengthen its gender equality impact.
