Sixth African Development Forum to focus on gender issues

Abstract

The sixth African Development Forum (ADF VI) will be convened on the theme " Action on gender equality, empowerment and ending violence against women in Africa " from 19 to 21 November 2008 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. ECA and its partners have made a notable contribution to the shaping of the gender equality landscape in Africa over the past half century. Nonetheless, there is still some way to go before “the mission is accomplished”.
