What are National Machineries ?

At the Fourth World Conference on Women, held in Beijing, China in 1995, it was agreed that in order to achieve full equality for women, governments should set up institutional structures to promote women's advancement and enjoyment of their human rights. These structures are referred to as "national machineries for the advancement of women."

This portal is designed to be a one-stop access point to all relevant information and links related to national machineries in Africa.
