The document outlines the origin and growth of the African Research and Training Centre for Women (ATRCW) under the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). Established to address the needs of African women, the ATRCW aims to enhance women's participation in development through research, training, and advocacy. Key activities include organizing itinerant training workshops, promoting national machinery for women's integration, and fostering village technologies. The Centre collaborates with various UN agencies, governments, and NGOs to improve women's skills, opportunities, and roles in national and regional development, particularly in rural areas.
