North America

As northern countries, the United States and Canada can have a disproportionate impact on global development policies. The Women’s Major Group and its members work to pressure the United States and Canada to support progressive development policies globally and to hold them accountable for meeting their commitments both at the international level, through their foreign policy and development cooperation, and at home.

While both countries are members of a number of Economic Commissions, the Women’s Major Group advocates for their participation in the follow-up and review processes of the Economic Commission for Europe, where their progress in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development can be evaluated alongside their peers.

The WMG OP focal point for North America is the International Women’s Health Coalition.  For more information, please contact skowalski@iwhc.org.
