Working towards gender responsiveness and sustainable development targets
Charlotte German, UN Volunteer Gender and Development Finance Officer, served with the Innovative Financing Lab of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in Indonesia for two years. The Lab aims to close the funding gap and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while focusing on national development priorities. The vision of the Lab is to be a leading innovative finance platform that cooperates closely with the government and all stakeholders, international and national, to share knowledge and expertise to showcase best practices globally.
UNDP’s primary mandate is to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities through sustainable development. Charlotte’s assignment is focused on these two mandates, which she examines through a gender lens. She works with gender mainstreaming and gender-responsive climate finance under the Sustainable Development Finance workstream.
