Data Highlights – UfM Regional Dialogue on Women Empowerment in the Euro-Mediterranean region

The UfM Cairo Ministerial Declaration on Strengthening the role of women in Euro-Mediterranean society decided to “establish a regional and operational follow-up mechanism against agreed indicators, to monitor progress, to evaluate the gender gaps and to provide recommendations to policy makers and stakeholders, to improve the impact. This mechanism would be implemented in complementarity and co-ordination with the existing mechanisms in the region. The UfM Secretariat is mandated to develop the mechanism, in close coordination with countries and key stakeholders in the region and with the support of relevant experts. Ministers have tasked their ad-hoc senior officials/experts to review progress in translating the above commitments in laws and the implementation of measures contained in these conclusions, considering the outcome of the consultations with the civil society.”
