Kigali, Rwanda Press, July 18, 2023- Rwanda is becoming the first African nation to host the Women Deliver conference and delegates are recommending the east African nation for its remarkable mileage in bridging the gender gap. The meeting is taking place from July 17 to 20.
At the conference, President Paul Kagame urged participants from different parts of Africa that promoting gender equality is something that should be promoted by all.
The summit, is organised by the African Development Bank (AfDB), focuses on what can be done to promote and invest in progress that accelerate gender equality and women’s empowerment on the continent.
Women Deliver Conferences convened thousands of decision-makers from diverse fields, including civil society, government, the private sector, and international agencies, alongside women’s rights organizations and movements, youth-led and LGBTQIA+ organizations, and advocates representing the intersectional identities of girls, women, and underrepresented populations in order to identify solutions, bolster accountability, and drive change.
WD2023 will adopt a greater focus on partnerships than ever before by building bridges between diverse actors and bringing country-level advocates’ perspectives to bear, both in-person and virtually, every step of the way.
