The project ECE aims to identify additional targets and indicators to measure progress on the implementation of gender perspectives in the economic aspects of the MDGs. These additional targets and indicators oriented towards economic policies and development strategies in the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus. Project outputs include : (a) identifying additional targets and indicators for gender equality in the economy, and (b) the establishment of the MDGs to disseminate information and issledovaniy.

Dannye results might affect the policies by (a) increasing awareness among policy makers about the impact of gender equality in the economy, (b) provision of indicators and recommendations for the introduction of gender perspectives in economic policies, and (c) inclusion of engendering economic policy in the National Strategy for the Achievement of MDGs and / or Level Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRSP). Rationale

The draft reflects the importance of economic factors to reduce poverty, enhance social integration, achievement of the MDGs in the area of health care, and other priorities identified in the documents of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). It also takes account of the work and expertise of the latter. Areas gaps and priorities MDGs Central Asia and the South Caucasus have the highest poverty levels and the risk of non-achievement of the MDGs to ECE. These countries are also experiencing declining gender equality, especially in the area of access to economic opportunities, which directly affects the Goal 1 (eradicating extreme poverty and hunger) and Goal 3 (Promote gender equality and empower women). The deterioration of the situation of women is typical of the transition process, as in the transition to a market economy, redistribution of resources is not in favor of women.

The women rolled high proportion of job loss, moving to the less-paid jobs, and reduce social protection, including health, technology and safety of children. At the same time, fewer women are involved in the privatization and development of this private sector. Participation of women in revenue also hampered the revival of traditional attitudes towards women. The above results in more women than men to be poor. Women are less likely to fulfil their economic potential, as they are forced to work in low-paying sectors and positions other than their level of education.

Thus, equal economic opportunities for men and women is necessary for economic growth, development and achieving the MDGs in the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus. Comparative advantage ECE operates in the economic sphere and not been involved in projects in the health sector.
