A/RES/S-23/3
(i) Identify and implement development-oriented and durable solutions
which integrate a gender perspective to external debt and debt-servicing problems of
developing countries, including least developed countries, inter alia, through debt
relief, including the option of official development assistance debt cancellation, in
order to help them to finance programmes and projects targeted at development,
including the advancement of women;
(j) Support the Cologne initiative for the reduction of debt, particularly the
speedy implementation of the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Debt
Initiative; ensure the provision of adequate funds for its implementation and
implement the provision that funds saved should be used to support anti-poverty
programmes that address gender dimensions;
(k) Promote and accelerate the implementation of the 20/20 initiative, which
integrates a gender perspective to fully benefit all, particularly women and girls;
(l) Call for continued international cooperation, including the reaffirmation
to strive to fulfil the yet to be attained internationally agreed target of 0.7 per cent of
the gross national product of developed countries for overall official development
assistance as soon as possible, thereby increasing the flow of resources for gender
equality, development and peace;
(m) Facilitate the transfer to developing countries and countries with
economies in transition of appropriate technology, particularly new and modern
technology, and encourage efforts by the international community to eliminate
restrictions on such transfers, as an effective means of complementing national
efforts for further acceleration in achieving the goals of gender equality,
development and peace;
(n) Recommend that the Preparatory Committee for the Millennium
Assembly make an effort, within the context of gender mainstreaming in the United
Nations system, to integrate a gender perspective in all activities and documents
related to the Millennium Assembly and Summit, including in the consideration of
poverty eradication;
(o) Create an enabling environment and design and implement policies that
promote and protect the enjoyment of all human rights — civil, cultural, economic,
political and social rights, including the right to development — and fundamental
freedoms, as part of the efforts to achieve gender equality, development and peace.
102. (a) Create and strengthen an enabling environment, in accordance with
national laws, to support the capacity of women’s non-governmental organizations
to mobilize resources to ensure the sustainability of their development activities;
(b) Encourage the establishment and strengthening of multi-stakeholder
partnerships/cooperation at all levels among international and intergovernmental
organizations, with relevant actors of civil society, including non-governmental
organizations, the private sector and trade unions, and women’s organizations and
other non-governmental organizations, communications and media systems in
support of the goals of the Fourth World Conference on Women;
(c) Encourage partnerships and cooperation among Governments,
international organizations, in particular international financial institutions, and
multilateral organizations, private sector institutions and civil society, including
non-governmental organizations, especially women’s and community-based
organizations, to support poverty eradication initiatives focused on women and girls;
