Abstract
Overall progress has been witnessed in the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment in Africa in areas such as education and increased resource allocation, however much remains to be done. African countries have adopted numerous universal declarations and commitments; however the translation of these declarations into national policies has not yielded substantial advancement on gender equality on the ground. The paper also exposes how countries can adopt and scale up gender equality policies that have proven to be effective. Hence, Member States, AU and UN agencies have a central leadership role to play in the promotion of a more cohesive and coherent regional movement mobilized around attainable targets.
