The partnership between Gender Links and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Gender and Community Development (MWAGCD) goes back to the time when both organisations were lobbying for the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, in 2008. Gender Links did a lot of capacity building work for member states around lobbying.

Gender Links and the Ministry of Gender and Youth, Sports and Recreation (MGYSR) have been working in cooperation for more than a decade. “We first started working with Gender Links when SADC was holding a conference on SADC gender ministers in Lesotho on violence against women and children; that’s now 13 years ago,” muses Matau Futho-Letsatsi, of MGYSR.

The Ministry of Gender and Child Development (MGCD) in Zambia and Gender Links enjoy a strategic partnership that cuts across three of the four GL programme areas: Alliance, Gender Justice and Governance.
