* The Interagency Gender Working Group (IGWG) was established in 1997 as a network of nongovernmental organizations and the Center for Population, Health, and Nutrition (CPHN) of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). IGWG promotes gender equity within population and health programs, in the context of sustainable development and human rights. Its objectives are to:

  • Establish a forum on gender issues in population, health, and nutrition programs, with a particular focus on how to mainstream gender into these programs. For staff of USAID, cooperating agencies (CAs), and other interested parties.
  • Exchange expertise and experience on gender and reproductive health among CAs, international development agencies, and USAID offices.
  • Develop methodologies and operational tools that will assist population and health program staff in gender planning and implementation.
  • Review the CPHN strategic framework and plan from a gender perspective and advise management on how to integrate gender into CPHN work.
  • Serve as a resource on gender and reproductive health to the Office of Population, CPHN, and country missions.
