gender responsive budgeting

by Umut ilkay KAVLAK -

I looked at the webinar at DEVCO's website, audiovisual quality of the webinar is terrible.  The UN WOMEN training on gender responsive budgeting  (GRP) is charged with 60 USD. Isn't there any free of charge but still good quality online training or source of information on GRP?

by Ruya Leghari -

Hello everyone, 

I thought we should start a thread to discuss interesting upcoming training opportunities. Please feel free to share information and feedback on courses here. A list of exciting training opportunities is available in our Trainings database - for example, the ILO's Participatory Gender Audit course is coming up: https://trainingcentre.unwomen.org/mod/data/index.php?d=44&rid=5946. The course lasts from the 4th of September through to October 13th and participants are asked to sign up before the 18th of August.

Do you have any thoughts on these courses or any new ones you'd like us to add to the Trainings Database? Let me know!

My First Female President in Singapore

by 栄祥 林 -

In preparation for the recently completed Presidential Elections of 2017 here in Singapore, I joined UN Women Training Centre and successfully completed the following courses which I thoroughly enjoyed:

  • I Know Gender
  • SSR: Rights & Needs of Women in Border Management
  • How to Manage Gender-responsive Evaluation
  • Gender in Humanitarian Action: Different Needs – Equal Opportunities
  • Gender Equality, UN Coherence and You

Our campaign team chose the similar orange colour as the one here at UNWTC Community of Practice. During the nomination day many of us turned up in various shades of orange in support of our first ever female candidate Madam Halimah Yacob who would go ahead and win the elections uncontested. She hence becomes the first ever female President in the Republic of Singapore, thereby establishing our Republic's intentions of supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals particular Number Five: Gender Equality. She will hold a term of six years starting from this month.
