UNIFEM Resources
The United Nations Development Fund for Women promotes women's empowerment
and gender equality. It works to ensure the participation of women in all levels of
development planning and practice, and acts as a catalyst within the UN system, supporting
efforts that link the needs and concerns of women to all critical issues on the national,
regional and global agendas. UNIFEM focuses its work at the country level. Playing a
strong advocacy role, the Fund concentrates on fostering a multilateral policy dialogue on
women's empowerment.
