CGO Director Patricia Deyton Convenes Annual Meeting of Network of African Universities Gender Focal Points in Ghana
Patricia Deyton, CGO Director, convened the third annual meeting of the Network of African Universities Gender Focal Points in Accra, Ghana, May 18-23. The Network is supported by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation provided to CGO to work with five sub-Saharan universities in Nigeria (2), Uganda, Tanzania, and Ghana. During the five day meeting progress reports were provided for each university, training provided, and strategy developed for the accomplishment of the objectives. The core strategy for increasing gender equity in the universities is through gender mainstreaming. In collaboration with Deyton and CGO, the Network members are collectively preparing a publication on Gender Mainstreaming: The African Experience.
