Introduction 1. Section II of the present report has been prepared pursuant to the 16 most recent resolutions in which the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to report on the cooperation between the United Nations and a number of regional and other organizations. 2. In its resolution 1809 (2008), the Security Council requested the Secretary- General to include, in his regular reporting to the Council, assessments of progress on the cooperation between the United Nations and relevant regional organizations. This report constitutes part of the response to that request. II. Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and other organizations African Union 3. Members of the Security Council and the Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU) held their third and fourth joint consultative meetings in 2009 in Addis Ababa and in 2010 in New York. At the request of the African Union, the Department of Political Affairs of the Secretariat dispatched a mission to Addis Ababa in 2009 to support the strengthening of the secretariat of the Peace and Security Council. 4. The Department of Political Affairs has continued its support to the AU Panel of the Wise, as well as the AU policy organs. Support to AU focused mainly on the areas of mediation support, electoral assistance, the AU border programme, and gender mainstreaming. The Department supported the establishment of a database system for the Union’s Democracy Electoral Assistance Unit and the setting up of a roster of electoral observers and experts, as well as the development of an AU mediation strategy. Using the recommendations of the AU-United Nations Lessons Learned Workshop on joint mediation partnerships organized by the Department of Political Affairs and AU in 2009, joint guidelines on the AU-United Nations mediation partnership are currently being developed. The Department is also helping to establish an AU roster of African mediators. The United Nations, AU and regional economic communities have carried out joint preventive diplomacy and peacemaking activities to pursue the resolution of crises in the Comoros, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Madagascar, the Niger, Somalia and the Sudan, among others. 5. The Department of Peacekeeping Operations and the Department of Field Support of the Secretariat cooperate closely with AU in respect of the joint African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID). The Department of Field Support has been engaged in the tripartite negotiation process with the Government of the Sudan and AU to secure safe and steady passage of personnel and equipment to UNAMID. United Nations planners are assisting the AU Commission in its management, planning and deployment of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), and logistical support is being provided by the United Nations Support Office for AMISOM (UNSOA). As part of the logistics support package approved by the Security Council, the Department of Field Support 10-54244 5 A/65/382 S/2010/490 has helped to put in place a sustainable supply route from Mombasa to Mogadishu to support AMISOM. 6. Longer term cooperation and support to the development of a sustainable capacity to address issues of peace and security was the

The text has not been edited to official publication standards and UNICEF accepts no responsibility for errors. ‘Rwanda: The Impact of Women Legislators on Policy Outcomes Affecting Children and Families1 Elizabeth Powley Page 1 of 18 I. Introduction The small central African country of Rwanda is perhaps best known for the 1994 genocide that killed nearly a tenth of its population. More recently, however, Rwanda has also become known for another – this time a propitious – statistic. In October 2003, just nine and a half years after the genocide, women won 48.8% of seats in its lower house of parliament, placing Rwanda first among all nations in terms of women’s political representation.2 Theoreticians and practitioners have long argued that women’s ability to make an impact in male- dominated institutions will be limited until they are represented in numbers large enough to have a collective voice, until they reach a “critical mass.” Based on political theory and investigation, most activists have settled on 30% as the minimum necessary for critical mass.
