Zimbabwe Local Government Gender Strategy
Date: August 17, 2010
SHARE:
The Policy aims to promote gender equality and equity by increasing the participation of women in leadership positions and access to resources. This will be achieved by developing gender sensitivity amongst all councils, councillors and staff. The Policy identifies specific areas for action and ensures that decision making, development,
planning and implementation mainstream gender
Women’s equal participation in decision making is not only a demand for justice and democracy, but is a necessary condition for women’s needs and priorities to be reflected in planning and service delivery by local authorities. The Policy will assist ZILGA and all councils to reorient some traditions and the stereotyping of women
which contrive to reinforce inequality, exclusion, gender neutral policies which fail to address practical gender needs.
