The office has since grown to be a model hub country, managing and supporting operations in other GL offices in the region namely Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritius, and South Africa. In 2022 the office conducted the following activities:
- Managed to fundraise SEK47 million (approximately USD 5 million) for the Promoting Gender Inclusive Local Economic Development (LED) programme being implemented in 12 local authorities in Zimbabwe from 2022-2025. The programme was launched in December 2022.
- Upscaled work on Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) initiated in 2021. The GLZ office in partnership with the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works developed a GRB tool to monitor the extent to which local authorities are mainstreaming gender in their budgets. The tool was launched at the Zimbabwe 2022 SADCProtocol@Work Summit.
- Held the first ever Gender Responsive Budgeting SADC Protocol@Work Summit, where 51 local authorities participated. 25 local authorities participated in the Gender Responsive Budgeting category. A total of 140 case studies were documented.
