ECA, AU hold joint gender meeting in Senegal
Over 30 African Ministers of Gender and Women’s Affairs gather Wednesday in Dakar, Senegal, for a meeting of one of Africa's key groupings on women's affairs. The joint meeting of the Economic Commission for Africa's Committee on Women and Development (CWD) and the African Union (AU) will be opened by Senegalese President Aboulaye Wade. The CWD, a group of experts that advises the ECA on gender-related issues, was first established in 1977 in Nouakchott, Mauritania, to promote the exchange of experiences and strengthen solidarity among African women. Its core objective is advocacy for gender–sensitive policies and institutional changes at all levels. ECA and the AU have adopted a joint strategy to follow up on the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of this document and the Solemn Declaration on Gender and Development in Africa.
