The follow up meeting of the Women Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resources Management (WOCAN) to the AWID meeting which held in South Africa in November 2008 took place on Thursday, 15th January, 2009 at the premises of the CIFOR Conference Hall in Yaoundé. The purpose of this meeting was to introduce WOCAN to partners in the field, mainly rural women whose livelihood is agriculture and natural resource managers and other community leaders interested in gender issues and women's advancement, to share the knowledge and information gathered at the AWID Forum in Pretoria, which hopefully would help to strengthen the capacities of the Community Based Organizations.
