Another example of UNCTAD 's work on gender is the close cooperation between the UNCTAD secretariat , which services the Commission on Science and Technology for Development , and the Commission 's Gender Advisory Board to ensure that gender remains a cross-cutting issue in the deliberation and outcome of this substantive theme . UNCTAD 's Science and Technology for Development Network ( STDev ) ( http : //www.unctad.org/stdev ) has also created a space for `` Gender , Science and Technology '' . Here one can find information on the Gender Advisory Board , as well as links to relevant documents on gender .
