From 2005-03-04 to 2005-03-05
Venue: Soesterberg, the Netherlands
Summary:
The conference aims to provide practical solutions for problems encountered by women, yield ideas for up-scaling and reproduction of successful approaches and will provide an opportunity to share valuable information between partners in the development process (women’s groups, potential donors, NGOs, private sector, etc.) on how to handle smaller projects. The conference will also pay attention to current themes such as micro finance (2005 is the International Year of Micro Credit, so the timing of the conference is ideal). The UN starts the Water for Life Decade on 22 March 2005; the Decade would like more attention paid to water-related issues, with emphasis on women as managers of water to help achieve internationally agreed water-related goals (Millennium Development Goals).
