Gender is My Agenda Campaign (GIMAC) held its bi-annual pre-summit consultative meeting at UNECA in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with the theme “Mainstreaming Gender in the African Union; Women in Agriculture and Food Security”. The main objective was to mobilise a diverse cross-section of women to dialogue on women’s issues in agriculture, reproductive health and rights and violence against women, and make recommendations to the 22nd AU Summit. They also wanted to deliberate on how these issues affect their livelihoods and in turn affect their agricultural production and food security.
At the 23rd consultative meeting on gender mainstreaming in the African Union, Mr. Carlos Lopes, Executive Secretary of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) said that food security is within reach and that “Africa can and should feed Africa”.
