Bridging GAP, The Gender and Policy Group at LKYSPP was formed in 2012 to increase gender awareness within the community on a variety of gender policy issues. Having been exposed to the heterogeneity of gender dynamics (both opportunities and obstacles), we present to you this unique roundtable that aims to provide participants the opportunity to share challenges in being designing and implanting gendered policies and innovative ways to overcome those challenges in gendered policy making. The one-day conference, “The Formulation and Implementation of Gender Oriented Policies” will be held on Friday 14th March 2014.
14 March 2014, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy
Part of the LKY School’s 10th Anniversary event series, this conference engages a multi-stakeholder forum, including policymakers, private sector, civil society organizations and academia and is divided in three sessions. The first session will be a dialogue on gender policies in Asia; followed by a networking session with LKYSPP students, policy makers, social media and professor and researchers from a diverse set of institutions in Singapore. The third session is jointly organized together with the Environmental Policy Student Committee on “Mainstreaming Gender Policies in Fisheries Projects”.
We are therefore pleased to warmly invite you to join us at this special event. Further details are provided below the jump:
