The Expert Group Meeting on Gender Networking was convened by the African Centre for Women of the Economic Commission for Africa, with the objective of developing strategies for networking among diverse actors on three strategic gender objectives. The Meeting combined the regional presentations, group work exploring missing gaps as areas for future collaboration and thirdly, group work and a plenary discussion on specific networking strategies for this collaboration, among a wide range of actors at various levels of operation. In keeping with the ACW guidelines, the discussion focused on strategies to utilize women's legal rights and increased power in decision making to achieve women's economic empowerment and ultimately, the major reduction of poverty for African women and their societies. |
