- Description
- One-day consultation organised by WIDE. The consultation provided an opportunity to share experiences with speakers from different parts of the world, to raise awareness about positive and negative impacts of microcredit on women and the role they can play in tackling poverty in the European Union. Two main issues were: - Has/does microcredit really lead to women’s empowerment in the South? Which are the improvements to make and the lessons learnt in the South? - Can microcredit be considered a sustainable alternative to stimulate employment and fight against poverty and discrimination both in the Global South as well as in the EU?. .Some 40 participants met and contributed their views on and experiences from micro credit and micro finance projects in Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, the EU, Asia and Latin America.

- '2015 marks the 20th anniversary of the agreement signed by 189 countries that attended the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China. Over the last two decades, Africa has made significant strides in developing progressive frameworks to advance the rights of women.This report is structured around four main sections: the first section offers an overview of the evolution of the socio-economic and political terrain within which women’s rights work has occurred. The second substantive sections summarises the key findings from the 51 state reports and the trends noted across all 51 state reports that were submitted to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). The third substantive section looks at the 12 critical areas, assessing gaps in state reporting and highlighting illustrative examples where innovation and/or where progress has occurred in specific states. These illustrations are not designed to highlight what all 51 reporting states have done in the 12 areas. The final section concludes with a set of recommendations.'
