WMO Member Initiatives
The WMO Gender Action Plan provides gender mainstreaming commitments for its Members.
The Action Plan recommends WMO Members to appoint female delagates on their representation to constituent bodies.
The Plan also urges Members to:
- Refer to the Action Plan for guidance and act in accordance with their needs and context both at the national and regional levels;
- Ensure the appointment of focal points for the coordination of gender activities at the national level;
- Ensure that gender mainstreaming policies, which are aligned with national legislation and WMO Gender Equality Policy, are in place and implemented within the NMHSs;
- Support and empower national gender equality focal points to effectively and efficiently coordinate the implementation of relevant aspects of the Action Plan;
- Maintain and regularly review gender-disaggregated statistics on employment, management, participation in capacity-building, research, etc.
