The EVAW Consultative Group

The EVAW Consultative Group was established in 2004 to promote consultation among stake-holders and avoid the duplication of efforts for more effective programmes and activities related to EVAW.

With a strategic framework in place, the group analyzes the quality of current activities and discusses how successful programmes can be replicated in throughout the country.

Meetings are scheduled on a bi-monthly basis and as of December 2007, three meetings had been held.

The third consultative meeting was held on 14 November 2007. The agenda included:

• an introductory presentation by the EVAW Commission;
• a presentation by the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) on EVAW activities;
• an update on the EVAW consultative group website*, and;
• an update on 25 November and the 16-day Campaign activities.

* UNIFEM is currently developing a web site in order to provide materials and programme calendars to all stake-holders.

UNIFEM is the women’s fund at the United Nations. It provides financial and technical assistance to innovative programmes and strategies that promote women's human rights, political participation and economic security worldwide.
