GADN News for June 2011
Monday, January 17, 2011 at 14:54 GADN presents oral evidence to the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry on Gender, Debt, Aid and Trade
At the end of February, GADN submitted evidence to the APPG’s inquiry which seeks to examine how the changing priorities of DFID are likely to affect women in the developing world, highlighting where these may have negative consequences and where they could be used as a source of empowerment. The inquiry also aims to give parliamentarians a greater understanding of the issues surrounding women and development.
In June, GADN was invited to present oral evidence to the APPG and were asked to talk about DFID’s new Strategic Vision for Girls and Women and how it compares to the Gender Equality Action Plan of the last government, the mainstreaming of gender across DFID, and DFID and UN Women. The APPG is now writing up their report which will be launched in September.
GADN is creating a database of case studies of both programme and advocacy projects on women’s rights – please contribute with your examples!
As part of our strategy for 2011 the network has agreed to try to link our work more closely with partner organisations in the Global South. Many of our member organisations have a wealth of information on the work of their partners and GADN would like to provide a central resource of examples of programmes and advocacy campaigns on women’s rights that have been undertaken by Southern CSOs. These will be available to our members, and through them their partner organisations, as well as to the broader public. Our aim is for this resource to provide an insight into the voices and priorities of these CSOs, as well as providing examples of good practice to facilitate learning.
The aim of the project is to:
• Enable organisations working on women’s rights to share their experiences and
learn from one another.
• Enable GADN to root our own work better in Southern partners’ experience.
Case studies will be organised:
By programme or advocacy work
By region
By organisation
Please e-mail your case study examples to gadnvol@oneworldaction.org

Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of Scarpe Gucci. So let us seize it, not in fear, but in Gucci Sito Ufficiale.
2011 is full of too many variables, bring new hope in 2012.
My greatest hope is to get cheap north face jackets
