COMMITMENT TO ENHANCING WOMEN’S ACCESS TO HEALTH We commit to enhance women‟s access to health; and to this end, we resolve: III. a) To take into account women sensitive issues to emerging threats such as Ebola and other impediments to Africa‟s development, which disproportionately have a negative impact on women and girls; b) To establish mechanisms to identify survivors of sexual and genderbased abuses and provide psycho-social and economic care during conflict and post-conflict situations; c) To ensure that Sexual and Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights of African women are implemented and mutually accounted for in the existing commitments to women‟s reproductive health and rights, as adopted by African Heads of State in the AU Protocol on the Rights of Women (Maputo Protocol) in 2003, and the Maputo Plan of Action on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights in 2006; and d) To ensure ending of the AIDS Epidemic by 2030, as part of the Agenda 2063, has an inclusive, human rights approach that leaves no-one behind; including children, adolescents, women of child bearing age, female key populations, such as women and girls in conflict and postconflict settings. COMMITMENT TO EMPOWERMENT PUSHING FORWARD WOMEN’S ECONOMIC We commit to empower women at all economic levels, including women at-risk and impoverished located in rural and urban areas, with access to, and control of, finances; and to this end, we resolve: a) AU Heads of State and Government to place the Gender Agenda at the centre of their Development Agenda, which should match allocation of adequate resources, based on a fixed percentage of the budget, with the elevated location of the Ministry responsible for Gender and Women‟s Affairs in order to enable Ministers responsible for Gender and Women‟s Affairs to drive the programmes of gender equality and women‟s empowerment; and b) AU Member States, as we move towards the adoption of the Post 2015 Development Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, to create and mainstream mechanisms to ensure women‟s access to finances, financial and entrepreneurial skills development, to move away from limited ring fenced women‟s funds, and to challenge the financial institutions to have minimum quota of 50% to finance women for them to grow from micro to macro business.
