In June 2009 the Southern Africa Protocol Alliance commissioned research in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region that sought to map out the current state of governments with regards to various social, political and economic indicators in the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development. The project ran for a month the 1st to the 30th of June 2009.
The objectives of undertaking such a study were set out as follows:
- To collect baseline data on the key provisions of the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development.
- To use this accurate and updated baseline data to develop lobbying and advocacy tools, targeting national governments and regional bodies to deliver on the Protocol commitments.
- To use this research data to enable civil society to track the progress made by SADC Member states towards achieving the set targets in the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development.

The Zimbabwe report is very insightful and addressing the real issues that many Zimbabwean women face,
However, the report could have also highlighted the challenges that urban women face with regards to access to land for housing, and how it is difficult for most of them(who are in the informal sector) to access housing loans
Furthermore, the report could have also addressed how women are likely to be negatively impacted by trade agreements that our governments would have signed, especially the Economic Partner Agreements(EPAs), that will further expose the local industries and making them compete with external players especially in the African region-namely South Africa and the EU market,China and the United States
