Part 1: Enabling Environment
Continuing Priorities from MTR Critical Areas
Gender, Democracy, Peace & Conflict• Women in governance and decision-making• Women/girls in armed conflictGender Human Rights and Law• Gender-based violence• Culture and persistent discriminatory stereotypes - educationGender, Poverty Eradication and Women’s Empowerment• Gender-responsive budgeting• Provision of social protection for vulnerable women – the informal
sector and women in unpaid work• Microenterprise and access to credit and marketsGender and HIV/AIDS
MTR: Findings on CGPMG1. The Monitoring Group must play a more active role in the
monitoring and evaluation process for the 2010-2015 review period.
2. Furthermore, the 2008 decision to revise the M&E Framework indicators was important, and the revised template must be starting point for future revisions based on MTR results
3. More frequent meetings than once per year of the Monitoring Group;
4. Establishing a dedicated CGPMG website with facility to improve the flow of information between meetings;
5. Representatives sitting on CGPMG should be mandated to provide feedback on MTR PoA from countries in their region at all meetings of the group.
MTR: Findings on CGPMG1. Create and articulate a clear set of targets and indicators for the 4
critical themes based on the existing plan of action. 2. New and/or emerging issues identified by respondents were: the
Global Financial Crisis, Human Rights, Human Trafficking and Migration, HIV/AIDS Palliative Care, Climate Change, and ICT, with the Global Financial Crisis ranked as the most pressing concern.
3. Targets related to emerging issues as identified by respondents, not addressed in the existing PoA, must also be incorporated in a clear implementation plan for the way forward.
4. Strongly recommended that the global financial crisis and its gender impact be addressed (Gender responsive investments)
Recommendations from 9WAMM Discussions
Review PoA in light of new developments eg. climate change

• Through dialogue with member states agree on priorities and specific areas of focus
• Decide on clear targets and indicators (return to Indicator template but do not be constrained by it)
Suggested Elements of CGPMG PoA up to 2015
• Decide on a general implementation strategy that can be adopted by member countries and be tailored to the local context
• Decide on the role of the CGPMG in this strategy and be guided by what emerged from the MTR and recommendations from the floor at 9WAMM
