Report of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) on the progress made in the implementation of the Dakar and Beijing platforms for action

Abstract

In the last five years, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) through its African Centre for Women (ACW) initiated a number of activities within the framework of the implementation of the Dakar and Beijing Platforms for Action. In so doing, it operated within the mandate it was given by the member States at the Fifth African Regional Conference on Women in November 1994 to initiate and implement measures in support of the African Platform for Action and generally monitor its implementation.
