Additional remarks
- Philippe Destatte asked her why adding that project to the Action plan can be useful?
- Mariam Touré answered that this will enable having a cohesion about emergence of professional women: it is about identifying Millennia2015 talents on the field and outside Africa.
- Annette Ntignoi (Belgium) pointed out that it could also be interesting speaking about recognition of those skills and furthers that action with research on the impact of migration on Europe development.
- Mariam Touré underlined that unlike visibility, recognition is out of Millennia2015 and AWODIAG capacities.
- Julienne Feza (Belgium/DRC) reckoned that it is an interesting action for quantifying the financial input of women to development of their country of origin through money transfer.
- Philippe Destatte reminded that there is a link between her suggestion and the action but it is different from the data bank that Mariam Touré suggested.
