Gender Mainstreaming 2.0 Dialogue

What can we learn from mainstreaming practices in different policy areas? What’s new and how can gender mainstreaming be made more future-proof? The Gender Mainstreaming 2.0 Dialogue seeks to re-energize gender mainstreaming and take it to the next level. We will look at practices from different policy areas, ranging from violence against women, to microfinance and value chain development, as well as the aid architecture. This event seeks to create synergy across these policy fields.
