The Division of Gender Equality for Development (UGED) is responsible for implementing the OIF' s strategy in terms of gender equality. This strategy combines the implementation of specific actions to fight against gender-based discrimination with gender differentiated analysis in all its activities. Thus, the UGED works in two areas: one internal, to ensure an institutional environment favourable to gender equality, and a second aimed at the OIF' s member states and governments.
This platform is part of the Axis 1 "Strengthening the capacities of equality actors" of the Priority Solidarity Fund "Women for the future in the Mediterranean" funded by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and led by the European Institute of the Mediterranean, in the framework of the project “Developing Women's Empowerment” labelled by the Union for the Mediterranean.
