One area in which United Nations entities can immediately do more is the utilization of quick-impact projects. These are intended to meet urgent community needs in post-conflict areas but are generally underimplemented in many mission stationing fields, not to mention the fact that the gender perspective is rarely integrated into those projects under implementation. Since one of the main features of the quick-impact projects is to encourage a gender- and age-based approach, United Nations missions and UNDP have the potential to fully activate quick-impact projects to meet the urgent needs of women.
