A meeting to review a Regional Report of the African Gender and Development Index ended in Addis Ababa with participants providing recommendations crucial for the finalization of the report. Once finalized, the report will guide national policy and decision-making on women’s advancement across the continent. The recommendations will help the African Centre for Gender, which leads the work on gender and development within the Economic Commission for Africa, to finalize the report. the Index consists of two parts: The Gender Status Index and the African Women’s Progress Scoreboard. The former measures the gap in the relative status of African men and women, while the latter assesses progress governments make in meeting their commitments to gender equality and women’s empowerment in international and regional human rights instruments.
