Portal on Gender Equality/MDG3
The website is part of a major global media and communication project of
IPS running through 2009 - 2011 called “Communicating for Change:
Getting Voice, Visibility and Impact for Gender Equality”.
The project is financed by the Dutch MDG3 Fund set up by the Dutch
Minister for Development Cooperation, Bert Koenders, to finance
activities that advance Millennium Development Goal 3: Gender Equality
and the Empowerment of Women.
IPS is committed to involving fellow MDG3 Fund recipients and other
women's NGOs in many of its project activities primarily in Africa,
Asia-Pacific and Latin America. This website, which is part of our MDG3
communication commitment, documents the publications, meetings and
outputs resulting from the whole initiative, and intends to provide a
knowledge centre about the activities of other women's organisations
working for gender equality.

IPS will also work on customised media and communication plans with
other NGOs working for women's empowerment to strengthen the visibility
of their own work, and co-host national or regional media and civil
society seminars with these partners.
