GTF 174 UKAID for DFID Annual Report (April 2010 À“ March 2011)

This programme aims to make governments and the media accountable for achieving gender equality and ending poverty in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. It forms part of the work of Gender Links (GL), a Southern African NGO that promotes gender equality and justice, in partnership with country chapters of the Gender and Media Southern Africa (GEMSA), network. The partners have developed a programme to “make every voice count for gender equality” using the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development. The programme will empower citizens, especially women, to engage critically with the media and policy makers to:

• Adopt, sign, ratify and implement the Protocol which has 28 concrete targets for achieving gender equality by 2015.
• Ensure women’s equal representation and participation in decision-making.
• Halve current levels of gender violence and devise targets for achieving this.
• Recognise women’s unpaid labour as care givers; especially those who care for people living with HIV and AIDS.
• Hold the media to account for promoting gender equality in and through its work.
