We envision this event will lead to an innovative multi-sectoral partnership and leadership toward achieving the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) despite the set backs brought on by the pandemic. The end-result of this Women Summit Event will be the “2021Women Declaration” to be submitted to the UN Agencies, to our respective National Government, the different International Non-government organizations and to all our participants. Likewise, for those who have attended the February 26-27, 2021 Summit Days, will be given a “Certificate of Attendance”, if needed.
