The insightful deliberations were geared towards building synergies and collaboration aimed at achieving institutional responsiveness as well as gender equality in legislation, representation, and oversight.

The conversations were positive and we anticipate fruitful collaboration. This has been through funding and assistance from Global Affairs Canada.
