| Summary: | The purpose of the Sao Tome and Principe
Country Gender Assessment is to create an analytical tool to
analyze the main gender issues; develop a body of proposals
and recommendations covering a range of interventions
specifically addressing gender issues and, to establish
dialogue and coordination between representatives of the
public sector and civil society, with a view to developing a
National Gender Strategy and Action Plan. The preparation of
the Country Gender Assessment (CGA) included two stages. The
first comprised a review of all available documentation and
data related to gender issues. The second consisted of
consultations with government, non-governmental organization
s (NGOs), members of civil society, and donors. These
consultations led to a two-day workshop with participation
by representatives of various Ministries, as well as other
government agencies, district councils, civil society
members and NGOs. The purpose of the workshop was to obtain
input from the participants in the form of a body of
proposals for plans and initiatives covering areas
considered of high priority, with a view to enhancing the
effectiveness of development programs and projects. The CGA
is by its nature an ongoing activity rather than a defined product. |
