THE PROMOTION OF WOMEN

The World Conference on Higher Education recommended the improvement and intensification of the participation of women in the various activities related to higher education and development.

In order to guarantee an effective follow-up of this recommendation, it is necessary to hold detailed information on the types of women who could be involved in these activities, from the point of view of relevant qualifications, area of expertise and professional experience.

The BREDA envisaged the creation of a database on African women that hold a postgraduate degree, starting with those who have post-university diplomas. The database will cover all five main sections of higher education, namely: Education, Law and Humanities, Science and Technology, Arts and Medicine.
