Movement building
The Southern Africa Gender Protocol Alliance is a regional network of 16 country coalitions and thematic clusters working to advance gender equality across Southern Africa. The Alliance coordinates regional advocacy, accountability, and movement building, linking national processes to regional platforms such as the SADC Heads of State Summit and Civil Society Forum.
The Alliance works with young people across all thematic clusters, with each cluster supported by co-leads who are young leaders contributing to advocacy, coordination, and knowledge production.

Stories of change
“Through collective efforts, we can create a future where women’s voices are amplified, their rights respected and their agency celebrated. By embracing diverse perspectives, recognising the historical roots of inequality and forging genuine partnerships, we take one step closer to a more equitable and just world for all.”
– Leonora Tima: founder and director of GRIT, after the Women Deliver Conference 2023
