tailieunhanh - Women’s Health Status Report 2002

Building on concrete examples of how mutual accountability enablers and structures, such as partnership policies and sectoral or thematic working groups, can effectively promote gender-related development results, this dialogue will address what targets mutual accountability frameworks should have in place to assess commitments on gender equality and measure related development results, such as, for example, the number of girls with access to schooling.
