The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) are overseeing the new project of international technical assistance. “The project has been developed over two years as part of the UN’s Gender Theme Group in Belarus and was approved by the corresponding UN Trust Fund on its second application,” notes Tatiana Gaplichnik, who heads the UN’s Gender Theme Group in Belarus. “It is to be implemented in partnership with the Interior Ministry, the Ministry for Labour and Social Protection, and with other agencies, ministries and public organisations,” she explains.
The three year project is to begin in 2011, with format and registration issues currently being discussed.
