Commonwealth Ministers Responsible for Women’s Affairs (WAMM) met for the first time, before the Third United Nations (UN) Global Conference for Women in Nairobi, Kenya. They recommended that the Women and Development programme (see 1980) shift emphasis from advocacy to ‘integration’ and requested the development of a Plan of Action (see 1987) to 'guide the work of governments and the Secretariat’ (AWF Archive, WS/I/4/001/1-2).
