Terms of Reference of the Women's Policy Forum

To enhance the capacity of the women's sector to make policy responses and

participate in policy development.

The Women's Policy Forum will do this by;

1 Facilitating information sharing and dissemination within the women's

sector on a range of common issues.

2 Enabling those working on policy within the women's sector to come

together on a regular basis to network, share experiences and knowledge

and develop policy positions.

3 Enabling those who do not normally work on policy to have regular access

to information and debate on the policy environment which shapes their

work.

4 Lobbying, when appropriate, on behalf of the women's sector, and

developing the capacity of member groups to do so.

The Forum will meet 3-4 times per year, and will endeavour to meet in a range of

venues. Meetings will be held in the morning to facilitate childcare arrangements.
