How was INGAD Established?
Formerly known as the Information Network on Women in Development (INWID) when it was established in 1985, the interagency Gender and Development (INGAD) Group was set up to share information on a number of initiatives being undertaken by a few bilateral donors and a UN agency to build a wider interest in gender issues. Over time, INGAD has evolved as a mechanism for improving donor coordination in policy and programme development and engaging with the Government of Pakistan on gender and development issues.
