SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICATION
Gender equality is integral to good governance due to
proximity of women, children etc to community issues and
concerns.
Capacity building provides a platform for council to take
ownership of these processes & in turn creating room forreplication in and among other councils and institutions
(multiplier effect).
The learning by doing approach involves everybody on this
topical issue which for years has been suffering from
resistance to change and man-made barriers.C
