| Time: July 14, 2011 from 3pm to 4:30pm Location: The QED Group, LLC Organized By: Janel Hoppes Poche, Fiona McDowell & Sharon Williams Event Description: A Dialogue with USAID's Leaders on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment USAID is committed to providing development assistance that improves the lives of women, men and children around the world. USAID has a special interest in the advancement of women worldwide and is working to improve women's equality and empowerment. Not only because it is just, but because it is necessary for successful development. It is important to engage the untapped energies and abilities of people, especially poor women, if lasting progress is to be made. Development assistance providers must recognize the pervasive additional obstacles that poor women face and give serious attention to those impediments as road blocks not only to women but also to effective national development. On April 26th, USAID Administrator Raj Shah announced the creation of a new Office on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment for the Agency. Please join us to hear about plans for the Office and progress on development of USAID's new gender policy. Presenters:Carla Koppell, Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment, Office of the Deputy Administrator, USAID Caren Grown, Senior Gender Advisor, Bureau of Policy, Planning and Learning, USAIDThis event is co-sponsored by Development & Training Services (dTS) and Juárez & Associates (J&A).
