Summary:

Discusses consolidation of four UN bodies addressing women into one composite entity. Discusses possible policy issues that may arise as the composite gender entity is established, including its funding mechanisms, creation of an effective governance structure, possible impact of entity on UN system in-country operational capacity, and relationships and coordination between the entity and other UN system bodies. Examines entity in context of broader UN reform efforts, and examines involvement of nongovernmental organizations. Analyzes Obama Administration policy toward new entity, including its possible role in U.S. foreign policy and level and extent of U.S. financial contributions to existing UN system gender entities.
