Gender equality, development & poverty eradication

Gender Focal Point Network (GFPN)

The GFPN provides a mechanism to integrate gender considerations into APEC activities, promoting issues that support gender equality where relevant to the APEC process.

This network assists APEC fora to identify and address gender issues within their work; promotes and reports on women's representation across APEC and within individual fora; assesses and reports on the use of gender criteria in project proposals; collects and shares good practices in gender integration among fora; and proposes recommendations on advancing gender integration in APEC.
