The vision of the African Centre for Women is a society in which development patterns, processes and structures are so transformed, and women so empowered as to enable both women and men equally, to address the challenges facing Africa The overall goal of ACW for the period 2000-2005 is to mainstream gender in development structures, policies and programmes in order to ensure parity in distribution of resources and to enable women to participate in strategic decisions. In the 20 years since the First World Conference on Women in 1975, ACW has been contributing to improving the knowledge on African women's issues and concerns, through training, research and the dissemination of information. |
