Aims
Advance the rights of women and promote gender equality and equity; inventorize, consolidate and facilitate existing and emerging initiatives and recommended actions in the African and Beijing Platforms for Action; contribute towards the conceptualization, articulation and mainstreaming of gender issues in the Eastern African Sub region; provide a framework and establish linkages for monitoring commitments made in the Regional and Global Platforms for Action and ensuring accountability of Governments, Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and donor agencies to women and men of the Eastern African Sub-region; facilitate the effective participation of women and men, as well as mainstreaming of gender issues in the sub-regional integration processes such as the East Africa Community (EAC), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
