Namibia Local Government Gender Action Plans

This action plan follows the launch of the study, At the Coalface, Gender and Local Government which took place on 23rd July 2007 in Windhoek and was officiated by Hon. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Acting Minister of Gender Equality and Child Welfare in the presence of Hon Minister John Pandeni, Minister of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development.

The study found that at 42 percent Namibia has the highest proportion of women in local government in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). A key conclusion of this study is that gender needs to be systematically mainstreamed into the work of local government so that this sphere of government can become a vehicle for achieving gender equality where it matters most, on the ground.
