MEETING OBJECTIVES

Raise awareness on the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development and its relevance to the water sector.
Build capacity in gender responsive budgeting in the water sector

Gender mainstreaming is about identifying gender gaps and making the concerns and priorities of women’s, men’s, girls’ and boys’ integral to the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes so that developmental benefits are relevant, and are shared equally.

Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) is the means by which we ensure that the needs and interests of individuals from different social groups are addressed by a government budget and are included in budgets
