The Zambian government has implemented a policy which will see a quota set so that women are entitled to own 30% of the country’s land, said Victor Mbumwae, information specialist at the Zambian Ministry of Gender and Women in Development, at the launch of the SADC Gender Protocol 2010 Barometer in Zambia.
The report was launched at Lusaka’s Golf View Hotel on 20 October and Mbumwae took the occasion to promote women’s economic empowerment in the country, noting the changes to land ownership.
He further shed insight on 2011 council budgets currently being finalised, stating that there have been deliberate moves to come up with gender-responsive budgets, thereby channelling financial resources towards the empowerment of women.
Mbumwae commended the work done by Gender Links and the SADC Gender Protocol Alliance, noting that it is advancing gender equality, particularly in local government, where Gender Links has grown and nurtured good relations with the Local Government Association of Zambia.
