2004 to 2007 represents a turning point for UN-INSTRAW in terms of institutional revitalization. With a complete turnover in staff, the establishment of the UN-INSTRAW Executive Board, strengthened alliances with the UN System, Member States, and other stakeholders, and a gradual but steady increase in project funding over this period, the Institute is once again on solid ground.
The UN-INSTRAW Strategic Framework 2004- 2007 set the parametres for the Institute's pioneering research in areas such as migration and development, security sector reform from a gender perspective, and women's political participation at the local level. In collaboration with its many partners, UN-INSTRAW has developed its programme of work within the context of the three pillars of the United Nations: Development, Peace and Security, and Human Rights, in order to contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other mandates.
