Global Consultation: From words to action - Promoting gender equality and transformative action through the Grand Bargain

UN Women and the Grand Bargain Friends of Gender are organizing a global consultation with the title ‘From words to action: Promoting a gender transformative humanitarian action agenda through the Grand Bargain commitments’. The event is taking place in Geneva on 13th December 2019. The Friends of Gender Group global consultation will enable a dialogue among the Facilitation Group, Workstream co-conveners, Grand Bargain signatories and representatives from local women-led and women rights’ organisations on institutional practices, action points and partnerships that are key to advancing the operationalisation of commitments to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls (GEEWG) in humanitarian settings through the Grand Bargain. The focus of the discussions will be on the Workstreams on Localisation, Harmonized Needs Assessments, Participation Revolution and Cash. These Workstreams have been identified by the Friends of Gender Group members as key to the advancement of gender equality.
