Abstract:
This paper presents a detailed review of the most recent studies on gender-related work gaps that the leading entities of global governance have developed. Emphasis will be placed on the findings that point to persistent lower female participation in the field of work, lower wages, and little representation in senior corporate management positions and the public sector. The reviewed studies come mainly from entities leading the lawmaking actions of national governments, namely, the United Nations (UN), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the Development Cooperation Organization. All agree that women face new and complex challenges, such as those brought on by the technological and scientific transformations that are changing the world’s labor scenario, in addition to the already existing gaps. Issues such as digitization, automation, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies will further transform society. Such effects could profoundly impact women because, despite being trained in varied branches of knowledge, they are an underrepresented minority in the fastest growing areas, namely, the so-called STEM (the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Therefore, the above entities suggest actions that prevent the progress made from rapidly eroding and the emergence of modern forms of segregation, displacement, or precarization of women’s work.

Abstract:
After the dawn of independence in 1947, India moved on the path of planned development after launching a series of five years plans with the objective of creating a socialistic pattern of society that is the growth with social justice. In a welfare society, the functions of the govt. increases extensively and intensively. Gone are the days when functions of the govt. were limited to internal law and order and war preparedness (internal and external security). To provide all basic needs of the lowest and disadvantageous section of the society is considered to be duty of the govt. Education, health, power, sanitation, transport, communication, growth through distributive justice, linking of employment process with planned development, balanced regional development, social welfare and social security, clean drinking water, rural development, expansion of production and productive resources, equitable distribution of income and assets, removal of poverty, eradication of illiteracy, reduction in regional disparities, price stability, empowerment of the weaker section of the society, research and development with application of science, improvement in technology and productivity, conservation of natural resources for future generation, continuous process of change for better standard of life, human dignity and values, environmental balances etc. On the other side, India’s population grew at 1.2% a year between 2010 and 2019 marginally higher than global average of 1.1% a year in this period, but more than double china’s 0.5% a year according to UN population fund state of the world’s population 2018, released on 10-04-2019. India’s population growth = Population growth rate of China + Population growth of US = 0.5 + 0.7. Moreover, actual fertility rate children per women is 2.1 against the desired family size of 1.8. India has over 18% of the world population but just 4% of its fresh water resources. This is going to create a big demand for all kinds of commodities. The propensity to generate waste is increasing (waste is associated with food such as milk packets and water bottles piling up and solid waste disposal is acute crisis in big cities). All efforts of growth of G D P may go futile, if population growth remains unchecked. This paper highlights the consequences.

Abstract:
The UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) report is one of the three periodic UN reports dealing with water supply, sanitation and hygiene. This paper analyses the data on hygiene promotion which were collected for the 2012 edition, but not included in the report. Despite the limitations of the information, this is the best picture available of the global status of hygiene promotion in developing countries. Results show the low priority given to hygiene when it comes to implementation. On average, the staff in place meets 40% of the estimated needs to achieve national targets. Countries report that over 60% of their population is reached by hygiene promotion messages, but we estimate that there are barely enough hygiene promoters to reach 10% of the people. Government officials' greatest concerns are the lack of human resources and funds, but they also point to the absence of strategy, responsible agency and basic coordination and monitoring mechanisms as challenges. This has serious implications for the poor working conditions and low recognition of hundreds of thousands of hygiene promoters, who in most cases are women capable of playing a crucial role for public health. There is an urgent need for further development of capacity for hygiene promotion in developing countries.

Abstract:
La historia del café en Veracruz ha forjado una cultura en los habitantes de la Faja de Oro, generaciones de familias cafeticultoras y jornaleras sostienen el cultivo llegado a México desde finales del siglo XVIII. El equipo de Cultura del proyecto de FORDECYT, Café In Red, se propuso conocer y compartir la vida de esas familias para que, a través de la vista, la voz y el oído, sin olvidar los aromas y sabores que vuelcan las pasiones del café, sepamos quiénes son los rostros de la cafeticultura de hoy. Las políticas sociales difícilmente incorporan el arte en la socialización del conocimiento, y para Café in Red ha sido un reto integrar la cultura en el proyecto del Fondo Institucional de Fomento Regional para el Desarrollo Científico, Tecnológico y de Innovación. Pretendemos integrar arte e investigación social en el trabajo comunitario a través de una mirada crítica ante uno mismo y frente a los demás, observado los rostros de los cafetaleros, mujeres y niños atentos ante una representación teatral o mirando las fotografías expuestas en las paredes de un salón social o leyendo las fichas que complementan la información. Es una forma de transmitir conocimiento y alimentarse de los saberes locales, a contrapelo de la transmisión vertical del saber y desde la construcción de un archivo de Historia Oral.Palabras clave: Cultura cafetalera, Fotografía, Historia oral, Veracruz Photography and actors of the coffee field in the central region of Veracruz, Mexico: women, children and young people (2011-2012)SummaryThe history of coffee in Veracruz has forged a culture in the inhabitants of the Faja de Oro, generations of coffee-growing families and day laborers sustain the cultivation arrived in Mexico since the end of the 18th century. The Culture team of the FORDECYT project, Café In Red, set out to know and share the lives of these families so that through sight, voice and hearing, without forgetting the aromas and flavors that turn the passionate feelings of coffee, we know who the faces of today's coffee culture are. Social policies hardly incorporate art in the socialization of knowledge, and for Café in Red it has been a challenge to integrate culture into the project of the Institutional Fund for Regional Development for the Innovation, Technological and Scientific Development. We intend to integrate art and social research into community work through a critical look before oneself and others, observing the faces of coffee growers, women and children attentive to a theatrical performance or looking at the photographs exposed on the walls of a social lounge or reading the cards that complement the information. It is a way to transmit knowledge and feed on local knowledge, contrary to the vertical transmission of knowledge and from the construction of an Oral History archive.Keywords: Coffee culture, Photography, Oral history, Veracruz Photographie et acteurs du champ caféier de la région centre de Veracruz, Mexique : femmes, enfants et jeunes (2011-2012)RésuméL’histoire du café à Veracruz a forgé une culture chez les habitants de la Bande d’Or, des générations de familles caféières et journalières soutiennent les semailles du café, arrivé au Mexique à la fin du XVIIIe. siècle.

Abstract:
The gender dimension of poverty focuses on the dilemma of women, their numerous roles as women and their role in dealing with poverty. In many developing countries, women are discriminated upon in terms of their access to capital means of production; basic needs support, employment opportunities and access to credit facilities. In Zimbabwe, like in many developing countries, empowering women through micro-credit finance is viewed as a means of reducing women poverty, empowering them, reducing their vulnerability and improving their well-being especially in the rural areas. This paper discusses the role of the government of Zimbabwe in empowering rural women through the introduction Women Development Fund (WDF). The study was carried out in Umguza district in Matabeleland North province of Zimbabwe. The study employed mainly purposive sampling and data was collected using questionnaire, key informant interviews, focus group discussion observation and oral history. Research revealed that WDF as a strategy has made a difference in the livelihoods of the recipients through initiation of income generating projects. However the major handicap with WDF is that the amount of money given are small and that it was employed in isolate hence the need to have complementary initiatives such as capacity building, market networking among others.

Abstract:
As a country of Southern European mentality Italy may be taken as the nearest-to-the-Balkans model of the gender equality mechanisms and necessity of their existence. Italy also might be taken as a model of domain and methods of functioning of the gender equality mechanisms as well as their connections with the EU development funds. Besides the Italian Ministry for Rights and Equal opportunities and the National Committee, the attention was paid to the whole range of local mechanisms and legal regulations dealing with advancement of women?s employment and counteracting discrimination on the labor market. In the text are analyzed through the five chapters the Italian mechanisms/institutions for gender equality as located within the European institutional environment but also within the context of Italian recent history of struggle against gender based discrimination. It was stressed that the essence of the accumulated European institutional wisdom is in diversity of the gender equality bodies rather then in their uniformity. Although the Italian mechanisms for gender equality are part of the European institutional environment their aim is to meet the internal needs for advancement of gender equality. Besides, the mechanisms also meet the demands of the international standards comprised in the documents issued by the UN and the EU. In European countries these mechanisms are frequently established and function in the domains of the labor and employment regulations, but also are located within the human rights portfolios while somewhere are connected with the minority rights and equal opportunity implementation.

Abstract:
Recent development challenges highlight a pressing need to re-evaluate whether the post-World War II behemoths of multilateral development finance are up to the tasks being demanded of them today. The institutions that dominate the current order, the United Nations (“UN”) and the World Bank, are undergoing a crisis of confidence as the world’s development aid donors engage in an ongoing quest to find alternatives to them. This quest takes the form of setting up numerous funds narrowly tailored to finance specific, narrowly-defined needs. Examples of these funds include the Global Environment Trust Fund (GEF) and the Global Fund to Fight HIV Aids, Malaria and Tuberculosis. The Climate Change Fund, proposed in the December 2009 Copenhagen Accord (and recently renamed the Green Climate Fund), is poised to follow this approach. This ad hoc special purpose fund approach lacks a coherent, unifying vision of how to meet today’s development challenges. The funds that have been created fill a need but suffer from several deficits, ranging from governance gaps and lacunae in accountability, to high transaction costs and uncertain status in the international political and legal order. These deficits generate new risks and costs for the international aid architecture. In this Article, I argue that the time has come to re-design the interrelationship between these special purpose funds and the UN and the World Bank so that these funds can operate in sync with these institutions rather than as bypasses of them.

Abstract:
Current issues surrounding the development and advancement of women have been a cause of concern over the years, not only in Africa but around the world. Many organisations have come through to assist in eradicating challenges that hinder women’s advancement. Since its establishment in 2010 UN Women has played a crucial role in developing and advancing women around the world. However, despite its efforts through the implementation of programmes and policies, women continue to face all forms of discrimination every day. This paper aims to evaluate the role of UN Women in Southern Africa, looking at South Africa and Zimbabwe as case studies. The first part looks at the background of UN Women in general as an introduction to the study. The second part assesses UN Women’s policies and programmes towards the development and advancement of women. The second part looks explicitly at country programmes established to address challenges faced by women. The third part looks at the core challenges identified that affect women’s development and advancement with specific reference to child marriages, access to education, leadership and political participation. The fourth part assesses the role of UN Women in implementing regional and global instruments that advocate towards the development and advancement of women. The fifth part expands on the organisation’s challenges in attaining its regional and global obligations that have been set out in various human rights instruments. Finally, the study has a sixth chapter that is the conclusion and recommendations. The sixth chapter elaborates on the key findings and provides for recommendations for future research. The main recommendations of this research aim to ensure that the organisation adopts policies that are African oriented to ensure visibility and effective implementation of programmes. A solid relationship between the state, people and other entities is of vital importance to achieve UN Women’s goals.

Abstract:
Despite the breakthrough of ‘women’s empowerment’ in the international development field and the continuous emphasis on its importance, there is still no consensus on the concept’s meaning. Many feminist scholars argue that this has affected the concept’s transformative potential as development institutions have tended to adopt overly simplistic understandings. The recent establishment of UN Women can be understood as marking an institutionalization of the women’s empowerment agenda as it was created through development institutions’ joint forces for the increased advancement of gender agendas. With this new institution and the still ambiguous meaning of women’s empowerment, this study examines how UN Women understands women’s empowerment and explores possible implications of this understanding for its practice of empowering women. Via ideal types this study uses feminist critique and visions as reference points to discuss whether UN Women has managed to change previous simplistic understanding of women’s empowerment. The study concludes that UN Women’s understanding of women’s empowerment is similar to the international development institutions’ often adopted understanding of the concept. The results therefore imply that despite the institutionalization of the women’s empowerment agenda via the creation of UN Women, the transformative project of women’s empowerment is likely to be absent.

Abstract:
Women around the world face various kinds of discrimination, which vary from country to country and from culture to culture. Socio-economic crises and global emergencies can accentuate such gender inequalities being particularly detrimental to women. During Covid-19 pandemic women have experienced significant hardships, disproportionately affecting 740 million women worldwide (Rivera, Hsu, Esbry & Dugarova, 2020). According to the United Nations, “across the globe, women earn less, save less, hold less secure jobs, are more likely to be employed in the informal sector. They have less access to social protection and are the majority of single-parent households. Their capacity to absorb economic shocks is, therefore, less than that of men.” Furthermore, the unfair treatment of women is also reinforced by derogatory female stereotypes spread around the media, making it extremely difficult for women to rebound after a crisis (Milford, 2020).  In the case of Greece, the pandemic aggravated the economic inequalities faced by women, which could be traced only after one meticulously delves into some formal documents and statistics provided by Greek open data or governmental institutions. Furthermore, the Greek mass media continue to maintain a stiff discriminative stance against women, feeding the Greek mindset with gender stereotypes affecting negatively the way females are evolving within the society, and in particular as entrepreneurs or employees. The outburst of the Covid-19 pandemic added to this, as the immediate reflexes of the Greek power and authority agents was to ‘protect‘ the existing dominant system with all its weaknesses and distortions that it may bear. Under this notion, Greek mass media, did not project the real repercussions of the pandemic, but it kept projecting the same distorted gender representations, as if the pandemic has had exclusively health repercussions. In fact, there is a large gap, with no clear conclusions regarding research on the impact the produced stereotypes by the Greek media have on women’s ability to contribute to any form of development. So, I aim to investigate how Greek women perceive their position and the way they are treated within the society and the working sector, and how the Greek mass media represent the female figure, especially after the pandemic outburst. I interviewed eight women and included extracted information from two magazines, two newspapers, and four television advertisements. I also used statistical data from governmental and other official sources investigating related data before and after the pandemic.  Although recent Greek official satistical data indicate that women have been more by the Covid- 19 pandemic compared to men, results have shown that not all women have experienced gender discrimination in the workplace, nor have they been exclusively socio-economically afflicted from the Covid-19 pandemic; they have been negatively affected, though, as everybody else has. Moreover, all participants recognize the extensive stereotyped representation of women on the Greek mass media, which is also evident from the provided media extracts in this study. Furthermore, Greek mothers seem to struggle to balance between family and career, as they are not on the top choices of employers, although female entrepreneurship in Greece is steadily evolving. Finally, the place of residence appears to play a role in the way women are treated, as in large cities, people are more open-minded and less stuck with the old-fashioned gender roles of the Greek culture.

Abstract:
Il coordinamento dell’aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo, evocato negli ultimi anni da più parti come la soluzione alla deludente efficacia degli aiuti è in realtà un argomento che nasce quasi contemporaneamente alle prime organizzazioni internazionali dedicate allo sviluppo . La funzione ambivalente delle Nazioni Unite, agente di mediazione diplomatica da un lato (mediazione tra stati e tra gruppi di potere all’interno dello stesso stato), e agente di sviluppo dall’altro, garantisce all’organizzazione un ruolo preminente nel coordinamento degli aiuti nei contesti di guerra e di post-conflitto. E’ questa stessa ambivalenza che impone all’organizzazione un rapporto ufficiale con i territori sottosviluppati, incardinato nella relazione con i governi centrali degli stati. La critica radicale all’aiuto pubblico allo sviluppo individua tutte le distorsioni politiche ed economiche legate all’afflusso dei fondi, sottolineandone le aggravanti possibili laddove esista una discrasia tra gli obiettivi di sviluppo delle Nazioni Unite e quelli dell’élite che occupa le posizioni apicali dello stato. Questa ricerca attraverso un’analisi storica del contesto, mette in luce l’interazione tra il sistema degli aiuti e il sistema-paese in Tajikistan dall’ingresso delle organizzazioni ai giorni nostri. L’analisi dimostra infine che la struttura politico-economica radicata sul territorio, pur conservando i tratti di uno “stato predatorio” (tratti non alleviati bensì aggravati dalle distorsioni legate all’afflusso dei fondi per lo sviluppo), sfugge in realtà alla definizione stessa di “Stato”. Questo dato rivela una debolezza insita nell’approccio metodologico del sistema degli aiuti che si fonda proprio sull’archetipo dello “Stato”.
The Official Development Assistance (ODA) coordination has been recently launched as a genuine mean to increase aid effectiveness. Actually, the “aid coordination” paradigm was born almost contemporaneously to the first international organizations dedicated to “development”. The ambivalent function of the United Nation that acts both as an agent of diplomatic mediation (among states and among different lobbies within the borders of the same state), and as a development agent, guarantees to United Nations a preeminent role in the field of aid coordination in conflict and post-conflict contexts. It’s this real ambivalence that compels the United Nations to deal with development countries through official relations with the central governments. The radical critique to development aid shows different political and economic distortions related to the incidence of foreign funds. At the same time, it underlines that wherever the goals of the official governments diverge from the development goals of the aid community these distortions might be even more burdensome for the country. This research, through an historical analysis, draws attention on the interaction among the development industry and the country-system in Tajikistan from the arrival of the international organizations to our days. The analysis demonstrates that the political and economic structure of the country, while maintaining the features of a “predatory state” (features which are not alleviated but worsened by the distortions brought about by the aid industry), simply do not comply with the definition of a “State”. This result highlights an innate weakness of the aid industry methodological approach that is in fact, fully based on the political archetype of the “State”.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the nature of governance of the urban poor and examines the 'behind the scene' politics as well as the 'side effects' of a recent good governance project designed to serve six million poor citizens in Delhi, India's capital city-state with a total population over 14 million. Over the past decade, Delhi's march to become a world-class city has further marginalized its poor residents as the government has demolished slums, threatened informal livelihoods, and diverted social welfare funds to host international events like the recent Commonwealth Games 2010. Overwhelmed by the growing disparity and a concern for its impact on attracting global trade and tourism, the Delhi government initiated Mission Convergence in 2008, a 'good governance' project implemented in partnership with over hundred community-based Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), to survey every poor person in Delhi, streamline and extend welfare service delivery, and to empower poor women across all low income areas in the city-state. The slogan of this initiative was "reaching the unreached" ? to make the aspiring world-class city inclusive and caring of its poor citizens. Twelve months of ethnographic research with slum residents, partnering NGOs, elected politicians, and government officials, indicates that Mission Convergence introduced a new institutional arrangement for the exclusive governance of the poor in Delhi as an additional two million poor citizens entered the government's welfare registers and more than 400,000 poor women participated in Mission's women's empowerment programs. Such tangible results defined Mission as a successful example of efficient inter-sectoral governance in the global South, but also disturbed the political economy of pre-embedded traditional service providers like elected politicians, local leaders, and welfare staff. This dissertation examines the competing logics of good governance as traditional and new arrangements wrestled to claim authority over serving the poor as the world-class city aspirations continued the social and spatial marginalization of the poor. Mission Convergence was expected to reduce the growing disparity that spawns out of exclusionary urban development policies. However, this dissertation engages with theories of neoliberal governmentality, neoliberal urban development, and feminist economics, to show that supposedly efficient inter-sectoral arrangements could disturb regressive power relations and streamline services for the benefit of the poor, but work in nuanced ways to enable the state to sustain its political legitimacy and to create an aura of its caring and inclusive intentions towards the poor at a time when fast-paced city modernization violated their basic rights to shelter and livelihood in the aspiring world-class Delhi.

Abstract:
Cette thèse explore la féminisation du VIH/sida au Sénégal et l'approche sénégalaise étatiste de lutte contre le sida. Elle remet en question l'idée reçue voulant que ce soit un modèle en matière de prévention du VIH, en matière de soins des personnes vivant avec le VIH/sida (PVVIH) et en tant que cadre institutionnel. En concevant 'les femmes et le VIH/sida' à partir d'une perspective féministe, elle présente une approche Femme/genre et développement qui pose les femmes et les relations de genre au centre d'une analyse de genre du contexte politique, économique, social et culturel qui sous-tend l'épidémie du VIH/sida au Sénégal et les politiques d'État en matière de VIH/sida. L'examen porte sur les multiples dimensions du phénomène de la féminisation du sida; la vulnérabilité sociale des femmes, le statut social et économique des femmes séropositives et leur accès aux soins et à du soutien et le rôle des femmes en tant que prestataires des soins aux PVVIH. Ceci est relié à une analyse des politiques étatiques et du rôle des groupements de femmes dans l'empowerment et à leur plaidoyer en faveur des femmes dans le contexte du VIH/sida. Il s'agit d'une recherche empirique avec un objectif pratique. Cette étude de cas se base principalement sur la recherche qualitative et une approche plurivariée qui comprend l'observation, la recherche d'archives, l'analyse des politiques et des entrevues semi-structurées avec des représentant-e-s de divers groupes d'acteurs sociaux pertinents dans le domaine du VIH/sida. Sont mises en rapport l'analyse féministe sociologique basée sur l'intersectionalité des oppressions du genre, et de la classe sociale et des relations nord-sud en ce qui a trait au VIH/sida et l'analyse politique féministe de l'État comme «hiérarchie genré» afin de révéler son rôle contradictoire dans la reproduction des inégalités de genre (hommes-femmes). L'analyse dégage le contexte des politiques étatiques sénégalaises en matière de VIH/sida et le cadre institutionnel d'élaboration de politiques qui limite son efficacité dans la lutte contre la féminisation du sida. La thèse démontre comment les rapports inégaux de genre dans la sphère privée, touchant la sexualité, le mariage et la famille expliquent en partie le risque élevé des femmes face au VIH, en soulignant que la classe sociale, le statut matrimonial et l'âge dans un contexte d'inégalités nord-sud différencient en termes de vulnérabilité sociale les diverses catégories de femmes. Cette recherche révèle les insuffisances de l'approche genre en matière de prévention du VIH qui résident dans l'accès inégal des femmes à l'éducation, aux techniques de dépistage du VIH et au condom féminin, conséquence des rapports inégaux de genre dans leur interaction avec d'autres inégalités sociales ainsi que du peu de programmes axés sur le renforcement de la capacité des femmes de négocier des rapports sexuels sécuritaires et l'utilisation du condom. La 'protection de la femme' plutôt que 'l'empowerment des femmes' est la conséquence de modèle de prévention 'ABC.' Il est démontré également comment les inégalités de genre se reproduisent dans les situations économiques et sociales dans lesquelles les femmes séropositives vivent. Elles se retrouvent davantage en dessous du seuil de la pauvreté et elles sont responsables du bien-être et du soutien économique de leurs enfants. Elles font face à une double discrimination en tant que femmes et séropositives. Des inégalités de genre, de classe sociale et de provenance (selon la région et selon la division nord-sud) façonnent leur accès aux soins médicaux et au soutien psychosocial. Les femmes portent le fardeau de la maladie en tant que prestataires de soins non-rémunérés aux personnes et familles atteintes et affectées par la maladie et elles subventionnent les insuffisances dans les services communautaires et étatiques. Ceci démontre comment les rapports inégaux de genre sont reproduits dans le modèle sénégalais de soins et soutien qui est basé sur une conception neutre selon le genre (gender-neutral) des PVVIH. L'État sénégalais n'as pas de politique efficace en matière de genre et de VIH/sida car des relations de genre inégales et une culture politique de la domination masculine se reproduisent à l'intérieur du programme national de lutte contre le sida et des structures d'élaboration de politiques qui marginalisent les questions de genre et limitent la capacité des groupements de femmes de plaider en faveur des femmes. L'absence d'engagement face à une perspective de genre se manifeste dans la sous-représentation des femmes et experts de genre dans les structures et processus d'élaboration de politiques, dans la marginalisation des questions femmes et de genre dans les discours de politique en matière de VIH/sida, dans l'intégration inégale (mainstreaming) du genre dans les orientations stratégiques, priorités politiques et les cibles en ce qui concerne la prévention, les soins et le soutien des PVVIH, la recherche, les questions d'éthique et de droits humains, la surveillance et évaluation des mesures appliquées. Cette étude de cas démontre les insuffisances du modèle sénégalais et souligne la nécessité de mettre les questions de genre de l'avant dans les politiques, la recherche et les programmes en matière de VIH/sida. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Femmes, VIH/sida, Genre et développement, Sénégal, État et politiques

Abstract:
Abstract Gender equality in the energy sector is still a challenge for the timely attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 on empowering women. To enable solutions roadmaps, the UN Expert Group on Resource Management launched "Women in Resource Management" in April 2019. This paper summarizes the initiative's progress to date and how it maneuvered through the pandemic, delivering several quick wins benefitting women in oil and gas, geothermal, and mining. The initiative focuses on the energy sector (Oil & Gas, Renewables, Mining). As per the UNECE - Gender 2020 annual report, "The Women in Resource Management aims to determine achievable, global outreach goals to explore how resource management can help attain SDG 5, recognizing the importance to provide women and girls with, inter alia, equal access to education and decent work, and that their representation in economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies". Work done till May 2021 includes:Review of a series of resource management projects to evaluate challenges and opportunities in enhancing performance from the perspective of gender.Selection of cases and country-specific study cases that exemplify how SDG 5 aims could be applied in resource management. The initiative deliverables and timeline for the future include:Dialogues on policy, aimed to boost gender participation in resource managementA network of women engaged in resource management projectsWebinars with global outreachIssue recommendations for the consideration and incrementing the participation of gender in resource management A comparison of critical elements considered diagnostic for women's empowerment such as female workforce percentages, participation of women in leadership and technical roles across several segments of resource management will be assessed per region with a global outlook. Other indicators valuable for the proposed assessment will be shared in this paper covering communication programmes and tools, empowerment and knowledge-sharing workshops, strategies and frameworks to increase active participation and awareness of women and men on the importance of gender equality for the sustainability of the energy sector. The initiative's roadmap was shared to collectively join efforts in an initiative that needs to compel the related organizations and stakeholders to generate step-changing actions to attain SDG 5 by 2030 and fully benefit from the impacts of diversity and inclusion in resource management, which benefit the sector. The participation of women in technical, organizational and leadership roles in resource management is imperative to ensure the sustainability of the energy sector in actionable paths. The roadmap and quick wins shared in this paper will inspire governmental, private, not-for-profit, multilateral, and other organizations dealing with the complex objective of incrementing the participation of women in resource management. The pursuit of gender equality strategies enables the success of SDG 5, especially if done with a collaborative effort that creates social and economic value at a global scale. Immediate objectives of the future activities of this initiative are to shape teams to address and advance research, communication of best practices and opportunities in mining (minerals and U/To resources), Oil and Gas, Renewables (including groundwater) and Public Sector and Talent Development.

Abstract:
Financial inclusion is an increasingly intense issue that is of concern to the credit institutions and the public authorities. It has become topical and gained new value during this period of Covid-19 crisis. Although financial exclusion cuts across demographic categories, but certain categories of financial consumers such as women, young people, people with disabilities and those residing in rural areas have a low presence in the financial services sector. Previous studies attribute the incidence of financial exclusion of some segment of the society to low income, low level of financial education or difficult access to financial products and services generated by poor development of physical infrastructure. Is this true in the case of ASEAN region? A quantitative research approach was adopted in this study, while relying on the secondary data of the World Bank spanning 2011-2017, the UN Women ASEAN Gender Outlook report (2020 -2021), and enriched by scholarly works. The article focuses on the dimensions of the phenomenon of financial inclusion in ASEAN countries, with emphasis on the gender gap financial inclusion. The analysis of the extracted data reveals multiple differences among the countries in the region, a fact that can be explained by the different levels of financial technology development and the governmental interventions implemented to improve financial inclusion. On the strength of the findings, this paper argues that digitalization and financial innovation can also be solutions through which new consumers can be attracted to the financial system, but with these solutions come new challenges related to the protection of personal data and cyber security. For this reason, we believe that increasing financial inclusion must be approached at several levels and must involve joint efforts by public authorities, credit institutions and other categories of stakeholders.
