THE ORGANIZERS

The Asia Pacific Gender Equality Network (APGEN) strengthens regional coordination and cooperation to address issues of feminization of poverty and gender inequality in decision-making within the framework of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

The PARAGON Regional Governance Programme's objective is to promote a humane governance-enabling environment for sustainable human development and human security in Asia. This objective is achieved through facilitation of interaction between civil society, the private sector and governmental decision-makers in the prioritized areas of Rights and Development, Peace and Development and Decentralization and Local Empowerment. One key theme with strong synergies cutting across the prioritized programmes areas is gender and governance. To date, PARAGON has undertaken several gender and governance related support initiatives that cover the fields of institutional capacity building, policy advice and experience sharing.
