This book documents the most far-reaching, systematic and sustained effort to promote gender in local government in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). Based on the research series, “At the Coalface, Gender in Local Government” undertaken a decade ago, Gender@Work in Local Government traces the growth of the Centres of Excellence (COE) for Gender in Local Government from evidence to action; from breadth to depth; and from advocacy to ownership. The book also touches on the COVID-19 pandemic that challenged all countries and communities in Southern Africa in 2020, but also led to innovative responses, such as the Gender and Emergencies Checklist.
