This call for Action was issued following the meeting on “Gender and Development: Towards Effective, Inclusive Development” Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Republic of Korea and co-hosted by UN Women, in July 2011. The meeting sought to work towards a consensus on the political message that partner countries, DAC members, South-South cooperation providers, multilaterals and CSOs can engage to ensure a catalytic role of gender equality in achieving development goals.
