The External Gender Consultative Group (EGCG) was established in early 1996 as part of the Bank's commitment to the recommendations of the Fourth Women's World Conference in Beijing in 1995. The EGCG currently has 14 members combining a wide range of professional and organizational backgrounds and representing all geographical regions. Its objectives are to help the Bank to strengthen its dialogue with civil society, to ensure that the Bank is addressing a broad range of gender issues of concern to different sectors of civil society, and to engage in a constructive but critical dialogue on the Bank's progress in the formulation and implementation of its gender policies. The second annual meeting of the EGCG was held at the World Bank from May 19-21, 1997. Eleven of the fourteen EGCG members attended'. There has been significant progress at the Bank on gender in terms of support from top leadership, increased ownership at the country level, recognition of gender as a crosscutting issue, measuring results on the ground with performance indicators, and listening and responding to civil society. Gender issues are increasingly being addressed upstream.
