Civil society organizations will be consulted for the new UN Women planning cycle and the country has now a Civil Society Advisory Group in place.
Recommendation : 4
Recommendation:
Programme Design - Programmes with focus on the promotion of ethnic-racial and gender equality should focus on educational activities in order to maximize their potential multiplier effect of the promotion of gender and ethnic-racial equality.
Management Response:
Partially agreed. In fact, based on the Inter-Agency Programme experience, initiatives must be designed to promote cultural change being the implementation of educational activities one way to achieve that. Another way, that appear to be more effective and was used by other MDG-F programmes at Latin America, is to focus on educative communication activities that promote awareness and cultural change.
