TRAINING AND SUMMIT WITH GENDER-LINKS 2013

Lessons Learned:  It is really possible to achieve the 50/50 set by the SADC protocol but these things need to be prioritized:  Taking individual responsibility is mandatory starting from President to Head of village.  We should highlight the objectives.  Face to obstacles or problems, we must seek solutions.  We need teamwork; willingness and take initiative. Ways of applications:  Respect others and keep good relationship with them. Ways of applications:  We need fully convinced leaders  Consult the documentation and follow the training with Legend-links or other entity  The live participation targets in action  Search technical and financial partners

Efforts to make:  Place setting committee Genre in all Municipalities and District.  We will convince the mayors to enter the Communal Gender Budget.  Collaboration with Gender Links, to make the Council a "Centre of Exellence“  Intensifify the fight against bush fires.  Implementation of an Action Plan. The mode of application and the requirements:  Searching the partnership.
