Sommaire: EU Commission and UN hold Conference to promote gender equality and eradicate poverty through Development policy (7 November 2005: Brussels)

The European Commission and the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) will hold a conference, from 9 to 11 November 2005 in Brussels, to assess the effects of development cooperation on efforts to promote gender equality and to eradicate poverty. The conference is being organised as a follow-up to three important events in 2005 that have linked commitments to gender equality with Millennium Development Goals: the 10-year review of the Beijing Platform for Action, the adoption of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the 2005 UN Summit. Journalists are invited to a press briefing at the Renaissance Hotel in Brussels at 13.00 on Thursday 10 November by Lieve FRANSEN, Head of Unit for Human and Social Development and Gender Equality at DG Development and Noeleen HEYZER, Executive Director of UNIFEM.
