Work
Today, IWDA focuses on Asia and the Pacific. Currently we have project partnerships in Cambodia, East Timor, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thai-Burma border, and Vanuatu.
IWDA has developed a Strategic Directions 2008-2013 document to guide our work over the next five years. The cornerstones of this work are: pathways to engaged and informed citizenship; policy influence and gender justice.
There are six program goals and three cross-cutting issues designed to focus our work in catalysing transformational change for women and girls. These are supported by 7 organisational change goals to help build a more robust, responsive and effective organisation.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“We must work earnestly in the best light He gives us.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Say what you will, making marriage work is a woman’s business. The institution was invented to do her homage; it was contrived for her protection. Unless she accepts it as such—as a beautiful, bountiful, but quite unequal association—the going will be hard indeed.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“It is necessary to get a lot of men together, for the show of the thing,—otherwise the world will not believe. That is the meaning of committees. But the real work must always be done by one or two men.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
