11 October 2020: In October and November Gender Links (GL) and the Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF) will be hosting Voice and Choice Summits in four Southern African Development Community (SADC) Countries â Eswatini, Lesotho, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions on large gatherings some Summits will be taking place in three phases. In Zimbabwe two Summits, for entrepreneurs and thematic awards, took place in September.
The Voice and Choice Summits, which take place every year recognise good practise and innovation; and the valuable work being done by gender champions and community members across a range of thematic areas. The summit participants will present on the following #VoiceandChoice categories:
The main purpose of the #VoiceandChoice Summit is to allow participants to learn and share best practices from various sectors including Government departments, Non-Governmental organisation (NGOs), Community Based Organisations (CBOs), Faith Based Organisations (FBOs), Local Government councils as well as the media.
The upcoming Summits will take place as follows:
Lesotho: 27-28 October (Entrepreneurs)
Eswatini: 29 â 30 October 2020
Zimbabwe: 13-16 October (Centres of Excellence)
Lesotho: 3-4 November (Centres of Excellence);
