Gender in Practice
Gender equality is a global priority for UNDP. To promote gender mainstreaming, UNDP China developed a comprehensive gender strategy to ensure that gender is mainstreamed more effectively and efficiently into all work the organization does, and more profound impact of its development interventions achieved. In UNDP China, the country office has initiated a range of activities, including the establishment of a Gender Task Force, in order to provide guidance and enhance gender equality throughout both programming and operations.
Gender as Participation
Drawing upon its network of experts and experience, UNDP works in concert with state institutions, civil society organisations and research centers to strengthen the role of women in decision-making processes by ensuring access to participation in political systems as well as developing a more enabling environment from which to do so.
Gender from Partnerships
To advocate gender equality and the empowerment of women, UNDP China partners with institutions, bilateral/multilateral donors, international and civil society organizations and the private sector that have helped to emphasize gender equality as not just a priority for development, but that as a practice that can effect change in people’s lives.
Gender for Policy
UNDP ensures that its commitment to gender equality makes an impact at all levels, from effecting change at the community level to enacting policy recommendations at the national level.

UNDP China is committed to make gender equality a reality. UNDP supported interventions in China rest firmly on the belief that gender equality should underpin every aspect of human development, and women and men should participate equally in setting priorities for, and involvement in, development work, as well as benefit from the opportunities it opens.
UNDP China makes every effort to ensure that gender concerns are addressed across all of its programmatic interventions. Gender equality and the empowerment of women have been made one of the key criteria for appraisal of new programmes, and development of gender specific activities that address the needs of poor women, particularly in rural area, is encouraged.
UNDP China also cooperates closely with the government ministries, think tanks and UN agencies to identify the most effective ways to advocate for gender equality and promote gender-sensitive policies through its projects.
As an active member of the UN Theme Group on Gender, UNDP Country Office is committed to strengthen coordination and join efforts to address gender challenges in China.
