About Win With Women

The Win with Women Global Initiative is a complement to more than two decades of work by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) in pursuit of an equitable, democratic society where women’s needs are meaningfully addressed. Some of its latest activities are presented here.

The Initiative is aimed at increasing women’s leadership in elected office, political parties and in civil society. It was launched in 2003 by NDI and its Chairman Madeleine K. Albright to promote strategies for increasing women’s political leadership worldwide. The anchor of the Win with Women Global Initiative is the Global Action Plan, a document that outlines practical recommendations for political parties to broaden their appeal by addressing women’s role as voters, candidates, party activists and elected officials. Women and men from more than 100 countries are active supporters of the Initiative and Global Action Plan.

Girls Invent Social Network for Farmers in 48 hours

Girls Invent Social Network for Farmers in 48 hours

Submitted by Sabina Panth on Thu, 01/20/2011 - 11:56

The AkiraChix, an-all girls’ team, was declared a winner of the recently held IPO48 software development competition in Kenya.  The IPO48 initiative brought together 100 participants from all over the country to pitch their ideas, question business models, form teams and create 17 prototypes and products which, by the end of 48 hours, were ready for the market (Afrinnovator).  The winning girls came up with an innovative M-Farm, a mobile-based marketplace that is targeted to small-scale farmers to increase their agriculture productivity.

Social networking remained a core theme of this endeavor.  HumanIPO, one of the main organizations behind the IPO48 initiative, is based on the thesis that “successful companies will emerge through collaboration between networks of free agents.”  Through events like IPO48, HumanIPO connects young entrepreneurs and visionaries with mentors, sales agents and investors in social media.  A similar platform, called the iHub also exists in their native Nairobi, which hosts enthusiasts of information technology in the city and enables them to share their ideas and interests.  In fact, ArikaChix were members of iHub prior to winning the IPO48 competition.  The girls applied the concept of social networking in their winning M-farm invention, which is designed for small-scale farmers to connect with suppliers, agrovets and cooperatives. (Through M-Farm, farmers can access SMS code to get weather updates, information on buying and selling of farm inputs, and connect with suppliers).

Although the concept of M-farm has been tried in other parts of Africa, the IPO48 initiative has challenged the assumption that a) women tend to shy away from information technology, b) the digital divide is making richer countries more prone to exploiting the benefits of information technology than the poor countries, c) starting a business takes time and a lot of investment. According to allAfrica.com, the  winning members of AkiraChix have resigned from their previous jobs and incorporated more women officers in their newly established firm to implement the project.   HumanIPO offers this site for those who want to get involved in the project. The start-up needs all the advice and support that it can get.

Building Better: Gender & Human Development in Asia

Lunch will be served.  Seating is limited. RSVP here to reserve.

On its 20th anniversary, UNDP’s annual Human Development Report (HDR) finds that Asia has progressed fastest in terms of human well-being since 1970, with China, Indonesia, South Korea, Laos, and Nepal surging ahead. But its new Gender Inequality Index shows South Asia in particular trailing behind on the critical measure of gender equality. An Asia-specific HDR also highlights women’s economic, legal, and political rights and how they impact human development in the region. HDR lead author Jeni Klugman, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Director for Asia & the Pacific Ajay Chhibber, and World Bank Executive Director  for Germany Ingrid-Gabriela Hoven will discuss how Asia is both leading and lagging in the work of building better lives for its people.

Ajay Chhibber was named in 2008 to the post of Assistant Secretary-General, Assistant Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme and Director of UNDP's Regional Bureau for Asia & the Pacific. The Bureau is responsible for managing UNDP’s programs in the Asia-Pacific region. He is also ex officio Chair of the United Nations Development Group for Asia-Pacific, which coordinates the work of all UN agencies. Mr. Chhibber previously served at the World Bank for more than 25 years covering operations, research, and policy issues, and has worked across Asia and as Director in Turkey and Vietnam. He was the lead author of the seminal work on Governance at the World Bank and the 1997 World Development Report on the Role of the State. He has published widely including five books on economic development. He has a PhD from Stanford University and a MA from the Delhi School of Economics. He has also taught economics at Georgetown University and the University of Delhi.

Jeni Klugman currently serves as Director of the UNDP Human Development Report Office. Ms. Klugman previously had a diverse career at the World Bank where she has worked from 1992 as an economist, focusing in particular on Africa, Europe, and Asia. She served there notably as Lead Economist for Ethiopia & Sudan and for the Poverty Group, where she was closely involved in the conceptualization and launch of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Programme approach. She holds a PhD in Economics from the Australian National University. She holds an M.Sc. in Development Economics, as well as a graduate law degree, from Oxford University.


Ingrid-Gabriela Hoven was appointed Executive Director for Germany at the World Bank in 2010. She previously served as Director General in the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), responsible for bilateral development policy and cooperation, United Nations development programmes, crisis prevention, peace-building, human rights, good governance, and bilateral cooperation with Asia and Latin America. She previously directed BMZ’s Environment Division.

 

This event is supported by LEO A DALY & the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

UNDP is the United Nations global development organization, on the ground in 166 countries and focused on democratic and effective governance, crisis prevention & recovery, climate change & energy, and reducing poverty.

Can Women Help Make Peace

Agreements Sustainable?

Jacques Paul Klein

Former United Nations Secretary General’s Special Representative and Coordinator of United Nations Operations, Liberia

Carla Koppell
Director, The Institute for Inclusive Security

For the past decade, using rhetoric and resolutions, governments and multilateral organizations have increasingly recognized the value of including civil society, especially women, in peace negotiations. Yet, when it comes time to choose mediators, those who facilitate dialogue and build trust between warring parties, this insight is too often forgotten. Speakers will discuss what can be done to elevate the roles of women in mediation and foster the kinds of inclusive, multi-track processes that lead to sustainable peace.
