Claudy Vouhé shared GRB in local authorities (French)
Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB) shows that the development of a budget and budgetary choices are powerful levers in terms of gender equality. We share our lessons learned in the field: a 5-step method, concrete examples (culture, sport, subsidies, public procurement, etc.) and keys to success. An operational work to objectify the impact of public policies and budgets and make RHL accessible.
Anuradha Kapoor Shared Swayam Recent Published Study
This exploratory study foregrounds the largely invisible issue of natal family violence (NFV) in India, exploring its forms, prevalence, and deep, long-term impacts on women's lives. It challenges the myth of the natal home as a safe space and centres survivor voices and lived experiences. The findings expose systemic silences and institutional barriers to justice. It offers vital insights for policy reform, feminist praxis, and deeper societal reflection.

Tara Prasad Gnyawali - Narrative
My flashback to working with wildlife-affected communities living in a biological transboundary corridor in Bardiya, Nepal, where I spent my golden 15 years. This story reflects changes that demonstrate how a community's tolerance extends to coexistence, and that is only due to the well-integrated planning of Ecotourism opportunities for the community.

Dear Bandana, I am an academic with a background as a gender and development knowledge practitioner based at the University of Leeds and would be pleased to support you but it would be useful to know what specifically you are looking for - is it mainly expertise in the areas you have been working in so far? I can see that The Colombo Plan has developed a focus on women and child rights, alongside an emphasis on income generation, education and health.
You can visit my staff page here:

And you can email me at:
I look forward to hearing from you, best, Lata

Dear Ms Shrestha,
Thank you for the posting.
I am associated with the Department of Commerce of the University of Burdwan, India. I try to study the role of business firms in implementing the Women's Empowerment Principles. Also, we work in the area of Sustainability Practices (including those suggested by ILO) by organisations .
I was associated with UNEP FI as a member of a Technical Working Group. Presently working on the 'Sustainability Practices by SMEs around the globe: Analysis of the standards'. This is certainly associated with economic empowerment of women.
We are also considering the SSTC platform and Social and Solidarity Economic Organisations in the matter of women empowerment. The role of women in the matter of Governance of the entities is also an important issue which we are trying to study.
Considering your purpose I hesitate to say that I have sufficient skill to help you. However, if you think it to be of any help for your purpose, you may contact me.
Regards,
Santanu Kumar Ghosh, Professor & Head, Department of Commerce, Burdwan University, India.
