OECD
Welcome to the OECD, an international organisation helping governments tackle the economic, social and governance challenges of a globalised economy. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has been called a think tank, a monitoring agency, a rich man's club and an unacademic university. It has elements of all, but none of these descriptions captures the essence of the OECD. The OECD groups 30 member countries in a unique forum to discuss, develop and refine economic and social policies. They compare experiences, seek answers to common problems and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies to help members and non-members deal with an increasingly globalised world. Their exchanges may lead to agreements to act in a formal way-- for example by establishing legally binding agreements to crack down on bribery, or codes for free flow of capital and services. The OECD is also known for 'soft law' -- non-binding instruments on difficult issues such as its Guidelines for multinational enterprises. Beyond agreements, the discussions at the OECD make for better-informed work within member countries' own governments across the broad spectrum of public policy and help clarify the impact of national policies on the international community.
Development Assistance Committee (DAC):
DAC work in the area of gender equality is conducted primarily through the Working Party on Gender Equality, the only international forum where gender experts from development co-operation agencies meet to define common approaches in support of sustainable, people-centred development.

Gender and Women's Health Department
Gender mainstreaming at WHO: Since the 1970s, small but committed groups of people in WHO Headquarters and Regional Offices have been working to address the links between women's lower socio-economic status and their health, their access to and use of services and their roles as providers of services and care. Initially the approach was on "women, health and development". More recently there has been a shift to "gender, health and development", that is looking at how the socially constructed roles of women and men and the relationships between them affects their health.

ICA Gender Equality Committee (ICA GEC)
The ICA Gender Equality Committee is a specialized committee of the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) which promotes equality between women and men and gender integration in the co-operative movement and society. It was formerly known as the ICA Global Women's Committee. The Committee in changing its name now seeks membership from both women and men. Founded in 1965, it is a forum for the discussion and the exchange of experiences and ideas of worldwide co-operative gender issues. The vision of the Committee is of a gender integrated movement and a society where women's and men's values, skills and contributions are valued equally and can be utilised on an equal basis, thus sharing rights and responsibilities, and where the organisation of work and decision-making structures are based on women's needs and values as well as those of men. The Committee is a catalyst for the implementation of equal opportunity. The Committee advocates self-empowerment and the promotion of women through positive actions such as: gender awareness training for women and men; training schemes; career incentives; recruiting and promotion schemes; mentorship programmes; access to decision-making bodies. It calls for defined targets and timetables as a means of achieving equality between women and men. The Committee also facilitates the establishment of Regional Women's Committees. The Americas region and Asia/Pacific region of the ICA have thus far formally established regional bodies. In addition, ICA Europe has established an informal network,
