Ministerial Conference on the Decade Review of the Implementation of the Dakar and Beijing Platforms for Action: opening statement by K.Y. Amoako executive secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa
Opening statement by K.Y. Amoako Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the 7th African Regional Conference on Women Ministerial Conference on the Decade Review of the Implementation of the Dakar and Beijing Platforms for Action. Dr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, it was a brilliant concept for the UN to hold four global conferences to promote the empowerment of women and to create a more just world. These conferences captured the imagination of millions around the world. The meeting will reflect on what has happened in Africa, and codify the achievements since those meetings. Overall, if anything, the justification of seeing the world through a gender lens has markedly increased. The growth in achievements across this continent provides a broader base of real experience to compare and to provide peer learning. ECA’s work on analyzing government budgets for gender impact, is but one of many concurrent approaches, which may be necessary to mainstream our shared concerns.
