Although all of the countries in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) have made legal commitments to gender equality in decision-making, current progress and strategies to increase representation differ widely. The following contribution outlines key issues and facts around gender and decision-making in the region, related to elections. Overall, each country needs clear strategies for increasing not only women’s representation, but also active participation in governance, which may include quotas and capacity building. Media also plays an important role in ensuring gender equality in governance.
