27 November, 2000After years of activities aimed at getting increased women's participation in the IMF, the result is very positive, says its general secretary, Marcello Malentacchi.
SOUTH AFRICA: The latest example he has seen to bear this out was last week when he attended the IMF's African Regional Conference in Benoni, South Africa.
"After years of activities which aimed at getting increased women's participation in the IMF, the result is very positive, at least in Africa. The 15 women who attended the conference showed very clearly that they can and will contribute to the development of IMF policy and strategy. In fact, their participation is essential."
This was possible, Malentacchi believed, because the projects the IMF started a few years ago were discussed and elaborated in close cooperation with the women themselves.
