Gender inequality impedes economic productivity and results in unequal access to and unfair distribution of our collective resources.

It is impossible to achieve development without gender equality.<BR>Gender equality and women empowerment is one of the eight Millennium Development Goals it is central to the achievement of the MDGs, as it helps accelerate the achievement of each goal. There is evidence to show that progress in gender equality in one goal most certainty contributes simultaneously towards progress on all other development goals. Investments in gender equality can improve the lives of both men and women, with lasting benefits for the next generations.<BR>In view of the foregoing, there is a need for the leadership of the UCT to effectively coordinate the gender response of all agencies in a coherent manner in order to maximize benefits and efficiency as well as minimize potential pitfalls.
