Since the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 and the 1997 ECOSOC Agreed Conclusions on Gender Mainstreaming, mainstreaming has been implemented to different degrees and at different levels of the United Nations System, international and national agencies, as well as within national governments.

On this page you will find links to an extensive collection of resources (introductions, policies and plans, and guidelines and manuals) on gender mainstreaming produced by agencies and organizations, as well as sections on Progress, Lessons Learned and Best Practices, and gender mainstreaming resources on specific development topics.

We have also compiled a glossary of gender terminology in order to facilitate conceptual clarity and common understanding.
