Gender capacity building in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS): a review of Beijing+10 activities
Abstract
Various state governments, non-governmental organisations, women activists, United Nations Organisations and other stake holders met and consulted on women issues beginning with the meeting in Mexico in 1975; to Copenhagen in 1980; Nairobi in 1985; culminating in the Fourth World and United Nations Conference in Beijing in 1995. The Beijing conference successfully defined a global programme for women advancement and empowerment. The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action has been a reference point for all stakeholders. The Platform of Action asserts the mainstreaming of gender as a key strategy for promoting and achieving gender equity and sustainable development.
