ARE GENDER AND GBV CONCERNS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR BOTH WOMEN AND

MEN? HOW ARE THEY INVOLVED? • Gender and GBV concerns and

responsibilities are for both sexes as bad gender practices have been caused

by them and so they are the ones who can solve them. Communities i.e WDCs in the rural set up and RDCs in urban set up are targeted with gender and GBV educational talks and campaigns against GBV

IMPACT (BASED ON THE SADC PROTOCOL TARGETS)

• The grass root development structures i.e the WDCs, RDCs and Project Works committees are almost meeting the

50% SADC protocol targets while the higher structures still have a long way to attain the same.

• Significant impact is at grass root level as structures are formulated on 50% basis.

SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICATION

• Since formulation of grassroot structures is base on 50% women and men representation, where gender

equity is being appreciated to be the best practice for sustainable development, the COE process is replicatable.

KATETE DISTR

jovially participate in the COE best gender practices
