ECOWOMAN has also been another group focusing on 'Women in Science and Technology'. In 1996 a group of women scientists met in India and developed activities on Gender, Science and Technology (GST), for poverty alleviation for women. UNESCO was the administering agency then and Ecowoman was a partner in the APGEST scanning project: Assessment of Resources, Best Practice, and Gaps in Gender, Science and Technology in the Asia-Pacific? region. Then SPACHEE took charge over the project from there, but currently due to funding and other reasons, Ecowoman news has ceased.

UNDP Making gender equality a reality is a core commitment of UNDP. As a crosscutting issue, gender must be addressed in everything the organization does. UNDP believes in equality between women and men is just, fair and right. It is a worthy goal in and of itself, one that lies at the heart of human development and human rights. And because gender inequality is an obstacle to progress, a roadblock on the path of human development. When development is not "en-gendered" it is "endangered".
