Summary of report of the meeting of othe committee on women and development : meeting of Ministers

Abstract

The CWD meeting was taking place at a very opportune time, when most African countries are either engaged in the exercise of developing or finalizing the poverty reduction strategies papers(PRSPs). This presented an opportunity to reflect and review achievements and recommend ways and interventions to facilitate the incorporation of gender concerns into macro-economic policy strategies. In this regard, it noted, our task is to guide the process of formulation and finalization of the poverty reduction strategies in a gender sensitive and gender responsive manner.
