The Conference in Bahrain was attended by global representatives including policy makers, senior governmental officials, parliamentarians as well as representatives from international organisations and NGOs in addition to civil society and the private sector.
The three-day conference, which was organised by the Supreme Council for Women jointly with the Organisation for Economic Development (OECD), resulted in final remarks asserting the importance of developing a complete country-specific governance system, the implementation of an auditing methodology in the field of promoting equal opportunities at the national level, as well as formulating national guidance instruments that would be able to assist policymakers in Bahrain and elsewhere on how to use existing parliamentary tools in following up the exerted efforts in raising levels of women’s development and close any gap quality.
The OECD works with governments to understand what drives economic, social and environmental change. It measure productivity and global flows of trade and investment, analyse and compare data to predict future trends and set international standards on a wide range of things, from agriculture and tax to the safety of chemicals.
