 Dear participants,
>
> Thank you very much for your active response to my
> paper.I have found your contributions very
> interesting.I agree with Mr Titus Otis-Ikeh of
> Forthright Foundation that we must form a lobby group
> to monitor Government's policies and programmes.NGOs
> are indeed change agents but our efforts are however
> limited by our capacities and our resources.
> Governments are greater change agents because of their
> executive and legislative powers.There is therefore a
> need for increased partnership between Governments and
> NGOs.I believe this conference can form a formidable
> lobby group to monitor and influence the Nigerian
> Government's policies and programmes on the economic
> empowerment of Nigerian women.
> Thank you
