at
Asia Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, Thailand

AND INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (GEM-IWG)
Announcement
In January
2010, UNDP Asia-Pacific Regional Centre, with support
from the Government of Japan through the UNDP-Japan
Partnership Fund, has initiated a new capacity development
project on gender and macroeconomic issues. The objective
of the course is to enhance Asia-Pacific countries'
capacity in gender-responsive policy making, especially
on macroeconomic issues such as trade, fiscal and
monetary policies, finance, and economic crisis. The
interventions will target strengthening capacities
of key stakeholders, including government officials,
development practitioners, Civil Society Organizations
(CSOs), research institutes, and academia to analyze,
design, implement, and advocate for gender-responsive
macroeconomic policies that are consistent with achievement
of MDGs.
Two key activities of this project are: 1) regional
intensive training course; 2) and provision of support
to capacity development projects at national level.
The training course is expected to have 30-40 'fellows'
each year. After completion of the training course,
the fellows would have an opportunity to apply the
knowledge for project formulation or implementation
at national or community levels. Technical and financial
support from the programme will be provided for this.
Thus, practitioners involved closely with gender and
macroeconomic projects in their countries in Asia
and the Pacific region and without formal exposure
to gender economics are encouraged to apply.
Last date of application is 30th April, 2010.
