A round-table discussion with development partners on the implementation of the African platform for action: African common position for the advancement of women

Abstract

This Round-Table is convened on the basis of the ethic of collective responsibility in fostering the advancement of women and mainstreaming the gender dimension in all societal development activities; and the mutual sharing of the benefits that are derived thereof. It is further based on the strength of the commitment that was made by the central actors in development in Dakar, Senegal, at the Fifth African Regional Conference on Women when they adopted the African Platform for Action: African Common Position for the advancement of women (APA) in November 1994.
