The biggest thing UNDP can do is to put the gender perspective and the advancement of women at the heart of all our programs. The principal goal of UNDP is the elimination of poverty, and therefore our program must focus mainly on women. We must reduce the amount of time that women have to spend on producing food and collecting firewood and water for the household. These are huge drains on the time and energy of women. If people begin to understand how essential women are to the production of food and the management of natural resources in rural areas, then enhanced landownership and inheritance rights and more equal rights within marriage should follow.
