African ministers in charge of gender affairs and high level participants from African countries will gather in Banjul, The Gambia, to attend the 8th African Regional Conference on Women (Beijing+15). The Conference will take stock of progress achieved in Africa since the Beijing Summit on Women fifteen years ago, and identify pending challenges for the implementation of the 12 critical areas of the Beijing Platform for Action. Its threefold objective is therefore to review the evaluation report that ECA has prepared based on the inputs received from member States; Identify key actions that Africa needs to focus on in the next five years, in time for the second decade review of the BPFA; and define Africa’s input into the global review of the BPFA, due to take place at the Commission on the Status of Women in New York in March 2010.
