Having signed the Millennium Declaration in September 2000, Ukraine made a pledge to achieve its own mid-term development targets under the auspices of Millennium Development Goals until 2015.

As the successor of the EU-UNDP Equal Opportunities and Women’s Rights in Ukraine Programme, the Strengthening National Gender Machinery Project has authored a publication entitled “BeingSmartaboutGender: SuccessfulApproachesandKeystoFosteringGenderEqualityinUkraine 2008-2011”. This publication was prepared as part of the comprehensive review process that summarizes results, lessons learned and successful practices of the Equal Opportunities and Women’s Rights in Ukraine Programme: the largest gender equality initiative in Eastern Europe in the last 20 years.

The volume is aimed at a wide circle of stakeholders, including governmental and non-governmental organizations, individual researchers, academia and think tanks, similar projects and initiatives in the realms of gender equality, combat against domestic violence and women empowerment, as well as the international development community.
