The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) has issued the African Women Report 2009: measuring gender inequality in Africa Experiences and Lessons from the African Gender and Development Index. Available fulltext in English, this report is based on the use of a technical tool, the African Gender and Development Index and thus makes it distinguishable from previous flagship reports of the African Centre for Gender and Social Development. It provides a gender-responsive definition of accountability and focuses on the key elements that are required to ‘make accountability work' for women.
