Strategic
Approaches
Enhancement of knowledge of
neglected subjects important to the health and well-being of women and of
ways in which gender affects different aspects of women's and men's health;
development, testing and dissemination of tools, guidelines, norms and
standards with the aim of strengthening policy and health-sector response to
selected issues; collaboration and consultation with other technical
departments, the Regional Office and country offices and other partners to
ensure consistency in work on gender and health and on the health of women. 
Expected Results
Standards,
training modules, information tools and guidelines on specific women's health
issues updated or produced and used to support regions and countries in the
formulation and implementation of policies and programmes
and in monitoring progress.
Evidence-based
reviews and collection of new data on the impact of gender on health and on
specific women's health issues carried out by WHO, with information so
generated disseminated and applied in advocacy and policy.
Tools
and guidelines developed and processes in place to facilitate incorporation
of gender considerations in the technical work of WHO.
New
initiatives incorporating gender perspectives in technical programmes undertaken, with results and analyses
documented and disseminated.
Development of a Gender Strategy for WHO
In May 2005, the 116th session of WHO's Executive Board requested the
WHO Secretariat to prepare a strategy for systematically incorporating gender
into the mainstream of WHO's policies, programmes
and research, following report outlining considerable progress made despite
persistent challenges over the last decade.
The Organization-wide strategy is currently under development and will
be submitted to the Executive Board in January 2007, and possibly to the
World Health Assembly in May 2007.
The strategy development process began in June 2005 with
a series of international and regional consultations. Work on the strategy will continue
throughout 2006 in preparation for its submission to the Executive Board in
January 2007.
