Proposed follow-up strategy for the implementation of the outcome and way forward of the decade review of the Beijing platform for action and of the solemn declaration on gender equality in Africa

Abstract

The Follow-up Strategy also takes into account what the continent has achieved in the last decade, analyses the gaps and limitations that were identified in the Decade Review process and synthesizes the strategic interventions that were recommended in country reports, subregional reports of both governments and NGOs, the Outcome and the Way Forward of the Seventh African Regional Conference, and the Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality in Africa adopted by Africa's Heads of States and Governments in July 2004. The Strategy also outlines the roles that key players should play in order to accelerate implementation of the BPFA and to tackle, issues and challenges that have emerged in the last decade.
