UN Women

Iceland's contribution to UN Women is both in terms of core funding as well as earmarked to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women. Contributions have furthermore been allocated to projects in Afghanistan, Palestine and the Balkan Peninsula. Icelandic experts have been seconded to UNIFEM in the Balkans, Liberia, Barbados and at the agency's headquarters. There is furthermore an effective partnership between the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the National Committee of UN Women in Iceland, sealed in 2010 with an extended 3 year partnership agreement between the two parties.
