9th AFRICAN UNION SUMMIT

- Letter Addressed To The Members Of The "Gender Is My Agenda" Campaign

To the members of the
“Gender is My Agenda” Campaign

Dakar, 5 March 2007

Dear colleagues,

As you may know, the positions of Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson of the African Union (AU) are up for renewal further to decision BC/OLC/217/20/Vol.IV of the AU.

In this regard and as Coordinator of the “Gender is My Agenda” Campaign, Femmes Africa Solidarité (FAS) is writing to seek your mobilization for the support of female candidates for the aforementioned positions.

As part of its work in on sensitization, advocacy and monitoring of the Solemn Declaration on Gender Equality, the “Gender is My Agenda” Campaign must be seized to encourage women with the required profile to submit their candidacy to the Commission of the AU.

In thanking the outgoing President of the Commission, H.E. Mr Alpha Omar Konaré for his active role in favour of the promotion of women and their integration in the AU, it is FAS’s hope that members of the Campaign will fully
support female candidates.

FAS kindly asks that members of the Campaign identify female candidates and then discuss among other members to assemble a pool of women leaders who can then benefit from the full support of the Campaign.

For further information, please visit the site of the AU : www.africa-union.org or the site of FAS and the Campaign  www.fasngo.org.
