It provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies to foster women's empowerment and gender equality. Placing the advancement of women's human rights at the centre of all of its efforts, UNIFEM focuses its activities on four strategic areas: (1) reducing feminized poverty, (2) ending violence against women, (3) reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS among women and girls, and (4) achieving gender equality in democratic governance in times of peace as well as war.

By stimulating and assisting the efforts of inter-governmental, governmental and non-governmental organizations, INSTRAW plays a critical role in advancing the global agenda of gender equality, development and peace. INSTRAW is funded entirely through voluntary contributions from UN Member States and donor agencies; the Institute does not have a regular UN budget.

USAID's approach to gender integration is to design programs that take both women's and men's participation into account. When this is done development programs are more effective.

There is a significant gap in knowledge of how projects aimed at land tenure and property rights reform affect women’s rights to land. This study focused on a set of recent and existing land projects and how they dealt with gender. The results are based on a review of project literature, as well as interviews with project personnel and donor project managers. The outcomes are presented within the context of a “project cycle” of preparation/design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. To the degree possible, they are also couched in how successful projects were at incorporating the socio-cultural context in which they occurred. The analysis presented here contains elements of successful projects that have strengthened women’s access to and control over land.
