On 2 October 2008, the Executive Board of UN-INSTRAW looked at the progress made by the Institute in the implementation of its Programme of Work for 2008, in addition to other issues related to strengthening the long-term financial sustainability of UN-INSTRAW.
UN-INSTRAW is governed by an Executive Board that brings together representatives of ten UN Member States - currently Belarus, Egypt, Grenada, Honduras, Israel, the Philippines, the Slovak Republic, Spain, Syria and Zimbabwe – in order to guide and support the work of the Institute.
During its session, the Board was updated on the implementation of existing and new UN-INSTRAW projects and programmes, including the beginning of “Building Networks: Women and Global Care Chains in Latin America,” the launch of the study “Gender, Remittances and Local Rural Development: the Case of Filipino Migration in Italy,” and the conclusion of the project and international conference on “Gender, Peace and Security in Somalia: Implementation of Resolution 1325.”
The Board also reviewed the progress made on institution-building within UN-INSTRAW, including administrative and other changes, the Institute’s financial status, and various pending projects.
