ESH 903 under programme 2.1.5 a "Seminar for African Women Farmers on Women's Savings and Production Groups" was programmed as a Category 4 meeting.

ESH 904-905 Under programme 2.1.5 two "Seminars on Women in Agricultural Production" were programmed as Category 4 meetings. Their titles have been changed to "Government Consultations on Women in Staple Food Production". They therefore become Category 1 meetings under Article VI-5 of the Constitution. The Session numbers become ESH 813 and 812 respectively. Attendance includes selected Member Nations instead of selected individuals from the African region. The direct meetings costs are unchanged ($1 500 each).
