South Africa Local Government Gender Action Plans

These action plans follows the launch of the study, At the Coalface, Gender and Local Government which took place on 22 March 2007, and was organised in collaboration the South African Local Government Association (SALGA).

The study found that at 40 percent South Africa has the second highest proportion of women in local government in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), with Namibia having the highest levels of women’s representation. 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.
