The Secretariat would like to thank all the members of the Alliance Steering Committee and Researchers who participated in the recent teleconference.
The deliberations were fruitful and the forum was good for sharing information. We commend the good work done by our cluster leaders and national focal points and acknowledge the hard work done by our team of researchers in updating country Barometer reports.
As mentioned during the teleconference, we are anxious to receive all country reports on time, in order to meet our production deadlines, and be able to launch the 2011 Barometer parallel to Heads of State Summit in August.
The Alliance serving as the gender cluster of SADC-CNGO has been requested to produce two Position Papers for presentation during the 7th Civil Society Forum. Focus of the Papers is on Gender Based Violence and Ratification and Implementation of the SADC Gender Protocol. The Secretariat will be coordinating this process, and we will be calling on input from relevant thematic cluster leaders.
Secretariat will shortly be contacting members of the Alliance Steering Committee to discuss strategy for effective participation during the forthcoming 7th Civil Society Forum.
