CENAF was identified and developed as a response to the constraints faced by women and women’s organizations in Gabon, in their participation in the processes of economic social and political governance. At its 30th Regular Meeting, in December 2003, the Executive Board approved a grant of US$ 1,305,933 to CENAF.
The main goal of the Projet de Centre d’Appui aux Reseaux des Organisation des Femmes du Gabon (CENAF) project was to improve the participation of women and their organizations in political, economic and social governance in Gabon through networking, institutional and human capacity development in order to professionalize the voices of women.
