2011 Nairobi, Kenya.

At  the 23rd UN-Habitat Governing Council, Norway government and HC members from Zambia, Tanzania, and Ghana successfully lobby their governments for the adoption of Resolution 23/1 on Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women in Sustainable Urban Development, which includes creation of the Advisory Group on Gender Issues (AGGI). AGGI is the first advisory group on gender of its kind within the UN system and provides a space to stress the vital role of women and community based leaders as policy influencers and partners for implementation.
