What is the Gender Seal for Development?

The UNDP Gender Equality Seal for Development is UNDP’s flagship global initiative to build capacities and support transformational gender equality results and impact. The Seal serves as a learning platform to help development practitioners establish baselines, fine-tune strategies, address gender gaps, and showcase the impacts of interventions for gender equality. 

Getting the Gender Seal

Getting the Gender Seal is a five-step process that spans 12-24 months. Implementing a learning and action plan to improve is at the heart of the Gender Seal.

Development Impact

The Gender Seal aims to transform gender inequalities. With a methodology rooted in learning and improving, organizations are supported in advancing results and impact that transform the lives of men and women for the better.
