@DrSicchia Happy Birthday Dr. Sicchia! Hope you can celebrate with your family soon!

[BeckyZelik @beckepedia]

Check out this policy brief on the correlation between the number women MPs in African parliaments and gender-sensitive COVID-19 policies. I was fortunate to be able to work on it with Giovanna de Miranda and @rainatou and I think we were able to present some really cool findings

[BeckyZelik @beckepedia]

@NaheedD great talk at #IDCUTSC. Definitely need more people like you in healthcare to gain trust in the system.

[KODA Nigeria @KODA_Nigeria]

Decreasing violence against women and girls especialy during #COVIDー19 requires a community-based, multi-pronged approach & sustained engagement with multiple stakeholders

@UN @SOAWR @FemnetProg @GenCEDgh @SDG2030 @NFF2008 @APN_SSRC @ACLEDINFO @InclusvSecurity @AWID @uwonet #WestAfrica has the largest concentration of #UNSCR1325 Action Plans, with 13 @ecowas_cedeao Member States, and many women involved in #peacebuilding.
Initiatives include women’s peace huts in Liberia, @UN trained peace mentors in #Nigeria, and #GBV organisations in #Mauritania.

Despite #Resolution1325, war and violence has only increased in the last 20 years...

And women are disproportionately impacted.

@UN @SOAWR @FemnetProg @GenCEDgh @SDG2030 @NFF2008 @APN_SSRC @ACLEDINFO @InclusvSecurity @AWID @uwonet In #CentralAfrica, there’s been significant ⬆️in women's representation in #peacebuilding initiatives!
In Central African Republic, 46% of early warning mechanisms supported by @UN_CAR comprised 30%+ women in 2019 alone!
In the #DRC, 62% comprised women in 2019 🥰

The #DRC, #SouthSudan, #Burundi & #Zimbabwe are the top regions in the🌎where women are most vulnerable to attack.

The % of Kenyan women 🇰🇪 in the #labourforce has dropped in recent years, and many say that #Kenya's #budgetary allocations are blind to #gender needs. 😤

[Make Every Woman Count (MEWC) @MakeWomenCount]

#DidYouKnow 🤔: #Uganda 🇺🇬 has done well to attend to women’s needs through #budgeting initiatives at the national and local levels.
#Education, #health, #justice and #law have seen some success in addressing gender-oriented goals.🥳

[Make Every Woman Count (MEWC) @MakeWomenCount]

These 5 African countries are not only the top scoring countries on the continent for women’s business ownership, but they made TOP 10 GLOBALLY. 👏🏾🌍
Congrats #Uganda #Ghana #Botswana #Malawi #Angola on the huge progress during #AfricanWomensDecade!

[Make Every Woman Count (MEWC) @MakeWomenCount]

When @rainasow saw there was no monitoring in place to evaluate the #AfricanWomensDecade she founded @MakeWomenCount to fill in the gap. Since then we have published 6 review reports 🥳
