Composed of UN agencies, multilateral and bilateral development agencies and international NGOs, and sharing a common pool of funds, the UN Theme Group on Gender is mandated to provide a platform for inter-agency policy dialogue and coordination on gender and development issues, and to share experiences on effective advocacy and gender mainstreaming in the work of the UN system and in the wider community.
The China Gender Facility (CGF) was set up in September 2004 under the UN Resident Co-ordinator who heads the UN Country Team, and administered by UNIFEM. The purpose of the CGF is to fund innovative and catalytic projects on:
a) research on contemporary gender issues and its dissemination, and
b) advocacy and social dialogue on gender equality concerns among strategically positioned stake-holders: policy makers, service providers and civil society groups.
