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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

You can read the Hub and Spoke handbook for gender mainstreaming here.
