The fifteen-year review of the Implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action in Africa (BPfA) +15: Synthesis Report
In March 2010, Governments will assemble in New York to review progress made in implementing the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), fifteen (15) years after its adoption. In this context, Africa supported by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), is reviewing its performance in delivering the outcomes agreed upon in 2004 in Addis Ababa at the 7th Africa Regional Conference on Women (Beijing +10). During this review meeting, member States “renewed commitment to gender equality, equity and empowerment of women and suggested concrete steps to address the gaps between commitment and implementation.” The African Ministers in charge of gender and women’s affairs together with other world Governments further reconfirmed and recognized the importance of the Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action at the Forty-ninth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in New York in 2005. They emphasized the need for effective implementation of the BPfA.
