Abstract:	This information kit was prepared by the African Training and Research Centre for Women of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) in response to the needs expressed by African women, their Governments and international and non-governmental organizations concerned with providing assistance to women, in order to throw light on national, subregional and regional machineries for integrating women in development. Part I presents a listing of most of the resolutions adopted in relation to machineries for the integration of women in development, by African region or international conferences. Part II gives background information on the development of the various machineries at national, subregional and regional levels and on their experiences in developing technical and operational skills. It also looks in more detail at the present status and aims of these machineries. Part III examines the nature and mode of operation of certain national machineries, in particular the national commissions on women and development and the women's bureaux. It shows how they have been gradually complemented by national realities and the current situatuion in Africa. Part IV provides addresses and other basic information for most countries of the region of the official organ to contact in connection with any domestic or external action in favour of women. Part V provides a list of training institutions in the African region which could teach the skills required to implement effectively the various activities initiated for women in rural and urban areas.
