Involving NGOs

NGOs work directly with women at various levels to promote their interests. They are sensitive to the needs of women in different contexts and have access to relevant information regarding obstacles to the advancement of women. It would be advisable to hold a consultation with relevant NGOS before finalising the States party report. Consensus on what the obstacles are and the priority actions that need to be taken will provide the basis for a relationship of collaboration. Such a relationship and collaboration can be mutually beneficial.
