NETWORK OBJECTIVES
Prominent individuals to speak up for women
Ms. Ulla Tørnæs, Danish Minister for Development Cooperation, has established an MDG3 Champion Network of internationally prominent politicians, public and private sector leaders, and media and civil society representatives.
The Network will include members from both rich and poor countries.
The objective of the Network is:
To achieve increased global attention to
MDG3 and the crucial role of the economic empowerment of women
up to the UN high level meeting in September 2008;
To obtain commitments to increase development assistance to gender equality and women’ s empowerment;
To secure partner country commitments to invest more in gender equality and women’s empowerment;
To seek new models for cooperation - with the private sector as an engine of growth - that can promote the economic empowerment of women in developing countries.
