Clare Short: The UK Government was representated by a Senior Social Development Adviser from my Department.
During the last 15 years the Group has played a catalytic role in ensuring that development agencies address the rights and needs of
women. In the preparations for the Beijing Conference the UK served as Chair to the Group and is currently a member of the Bureau
(Steering Group).
At its most recent meeting the Group changed its title to Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in Development Cooperation. The
Group's future workplan was agreed. Major items include integrating gender into the DAC's work on poverty eradication, ensuring that
gender equality is handled as a cross-cutting issue in all the development Targets and presenting Guidelines on Gender Equality for
endorsement by the DAC.
