More information

 

The Eastern African Sub-regional Support Initiative for the Advancement of Women is sub-regional Civil Society Organization made up of committed individuals, NGOs, coalitions and networks driven to transform gender relations and especially in the Eastern Africa sub-region. The main international agreement that frames our work is the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA) resulting from the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995. The BPFA has been in turn affirmed by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for 2015, combating poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy and gender equality, and gender inequality, and building partnerships for development. EASSI owes its genesis to the women's movement in Eastern Africa. We advocate for effective sub-regional mechanisms for the advancement of women’s rights and gender equality, we promote transparency in the budgetary process with regards to resource mobilisation, allocation and utilization for reproductive health and sexual rights while increasing the participation of women in challenging systemic causes of conflict and providing alternative paradigms to peace building and conflict resolution.
