GENDER AND CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES
Women constitute over 52 % of the Africa population and contribute significantly to the development of the continent. They remain the backbone of the agricultural sector, key players in the service industry, undisputed drivers of the informal sector and home economy. However, they rarely enjoy access to basic services, equal opportunities and are often excluded from the decision making processes.
In recognition of their role and the constraints facing women, the African leaders have through Articles 4(1) of the Constitutive Act of the African Union (2000) adopted a gender parity principle.
Further through the adoption of the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa and the signing of the Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality the Heads of States have demonstrated political commitment to gender equality at the highest level.
Articles of the Statute of the AUC and NEPAD’s foundation document makes a clear call for a gender agenda in the work of the AU and NEPAD centrally anchoring gender within the policy framework of NEPAD. Indeed, one of the two goals of NEPAD is specifically devoted to the empowerment of women. In this regard, all the organs of the AU including the African Union Commission (AUC) and NEPAD have to ensure that the gender is mainstreamed institutionally.
In order for AUC/NEPAD to close the existing gender gaps and address the widespread gender disparities, it needs US $ 30 million per annum for five years towards institutional capacity building, technical expertise and funding of special interventions addressing the existing barriers, closing disparities and the gender gap.
This will support gender mainstreaming and the implementation of the Beijing POA at the national level as well as build capacities linked to project implementation and interventions that address gender based marginalization through social exclusion, vulnerability and for orphaned children.

COMMENTS RECEIVED
Top of the day to you Peter,
I would like to say welldone for the good work you are doing.
Please help fashion out a mechanism that would facilitate the involvement of African private sector in these projects.
It is only when African enterprises are strategically integrated into the implementation of these projects that their real values would be realised.
Best Regards,
Ibrahim Salau

Thank You
I work in Project Finance at Standard Bank.
I think that Standard Bank may be keen on financing some of these project that were listed.
Also, I know of a few businesses/businessmen that may be keen on supply contracts to these projects

Dear Peter:
Hope this finds you well, and thanks for your feedback to my last week
email comment/request for more contact info for AFRICA'S PRIORITY
PROGRAMME - PROJECT DETAIL 2005 listed projects for "small/medium size
private international companies (like ours).
Sadly, too much of African
economic development is still focused on Government and/or ADB/etc
run/funded projects, and while such institutions have a role to play, no
meaningful development can occur until a vibrant private sector and middle
class forms.
There should be legislation mandating "small business
participation in all contracts", so that each large entity has to actively
work on creating an ecosystem of Tier I/II/III suppliers in the SME
community, creating opportunities for tech transfer, apprenticeships, etc
etc.
But I know I'm "preaching to the choir" here. We'll keep doing what we
can!!
Blessings.

Dear Peter,
Thank you very much for that useful information, I am sure that i might be
able to get the funding for the Incubation Centre.
Please keep on informing us about the funds available for our projects as
we could not get much from these ends.

Dear sir !
I have read through the above programm and projects for Africa.
Such plans are always wellcome and I thank those who have made them possible. What I miss are environmental programms for Africa, (land scapping sites, eco-sites, parks, gardens, tree planting along our streets coast, Hyieginic standarts, etc.)
Apart from this, a programm to secure adequate food production and protection for all regions of Africa."No more Hunger in Africa" must the first priority issue.
Best wishes

Dear Peter:
Hope this finds you well, and thanks for your email note.
I took a look at the list of AFRICA'S PRIORITY PROGRAMME - PROJECT DETAIL 2005, but was
disappointed to find no process listed for involvement of small/medium
size (per global standards) international private firms like our TTT Inc
Holding Group (USA).
TTT might be interested in several of the
Energy/Environment/Construction/Food processing projects within our
expertise, but no contact info is listed for any project with whom to
check if they are seeking participation from firms like us.
With TTT USA getting 2-3 quality project proposals per week from our
various African Industrial Sector Partners, we don't have much time to
play guessing games or chase information like this, so in future, on these
or other projects, please ask the sponsoring entities to list contact info
(email/names/etc) for further Business Plan data.
Blessings.

Dear Peter,
It is always very tedious to look through everything. Are there any
EDUCATION projects in South Africa. How do I go straight to them on the
website?

Greetings Peter,
I am so excited to see what has been put aside for Africa. We, as the
African people, need to ensure that this money is used properly in terms of
developmental processes. I would like to discuss a proposal with you and see
how we can take the process forward. I believe that this is one of the best
solutions that can be given to NEPAD. I also believe that this will support
South Africa on what our President has been doing around sorting out issues
of conflict on the African Continent. This I think will be discussed in
details when we meet.
I was listening to Radio 702 this morning, and John was interviewing someone
from Ireland. This guy said something extremely profound, which is that they
came to thank President Thabo Mbeki for helping them to put down arms. He
said South Africa has been working with them to put down arms. This was so
very interesting to hear what we are capable of doing and what we are doing
to bring about negotiated settlement.
On today's Star newspaper (Wed 19 Oct 2005, page 5), there is a story with a
title says "Africa the most corrupt of all" the story goes on to say
that other donors need Africa to reduce corruption so that they can give
Africa more money for Development. This is very scary news but I believe
that my discussion with you will show you that there is a solution, which is
cost effective, efficient and comes from the African Continent.
