Partners
WEDO views strong and diverse partnerships as integral to meeting its mission. It allies with women’s organizations and networks; environmental, development and human rights organizations; governments; and intergovernmental organizations, including the United Nations, to achieve its goals. WEDO’s expertise is in high-level advocacy in international arenas, building bridges among a range of stakeholders – especially the tripartite of government, UN and non-governmental actors. WEDO believes in good partnering to advance its own knowledge, capacity and objectives, as well as to contribute to those of others’ and of the wider women’s, environmental and development movements of which it is part.
Prioritizing mutually beneficial and respectful collaborations to advance toward common goals, WEDO – with input from various peers – drafted and enacted a Partner Policy in 2012. Considered a living, working document, the Partner Policy is open to all comments. Read WEDO Partner Policy.
