Closing the gap: An overview of UNDP results in gender equality in Europe and the CIS

July 24, 2015

This report presents some of the key results achieved by UNDP Country Offices in Europe and Central Asia in 2014 in our efforts to eradicate the root causes of gender inequality.

From promoting women’s independence through solar heaters, crafts centres and life skills courses in Central Asia, to strengthening laws and access to justice to combat violence against women in the Western Balkans, Closing the Gap: is the first such overview in recent years.

Organized along the thematic priorities of the UNDP Gender Equality Strategy (2014-2017), it covers a wide range of initiatives and measurable impact of the work of Country Offices during the period January 2014-March 2015.
