Gender and Education for a Culture of Peace in Central Africa

Situations of armed conflict and periods of post-conflict reconstruction in Cen­tral Africa pose specific challenges to achieving gender equality and the protection of women’s rights. Exclusion of and discrimination against the latter in power circles as well as in the allocation of resources and levels of income, have been identified as factors that continue to stoke a culture of vio­lence. To achieve a lasting culture of peace, it is important to involve women in mechanisms for preventing and pre-empting crises.

Capitalising on statistics – yet another ECA focus

Yaounde, 29 May 2014 (ECA) - The comparative advantage of the Economic Commission for Africa in disseminating statistics lies in its capacity to tell the story behind the numbers and its ability to capitalise on such data to plead the case for Africa’s transformation. This was the principal remark made by experts in data collection, dissemination and communication from ECA’s Sub-regional Office for Central Africa, during a recent UN workshop on the dissemination and communication of statistics, held in Niamey – Niger.
