The South African local government gender action plan manual is designed as a complement to the government’s Gender Policy Framework for Local Government. While the framework provides the policy guideline, the manual provides the tools for understanding what gender mainstreaming is; why it is important; and how to go about developing a gender action plan.
The local government gender action plan workshop manual is a product of the Training of Trainer (ToT) workshop that took place in Johannesburg in November 2007. The workshop brought together representatives of gender and local government ministries, local government authorities and their staff from the four case study countries of the GL study: At the Coalface, Gender and Local Government. The four countries are Mauritius, Lesotho, South Africa and Namibia.

Special thanks to SALGA for its contribution towards the development of this manual. The manual draws its inspiration from many sources, including the SADC Toolkit for Decision Makers; the Oxfam Gender Training Manual and the pilot projects on mainstreaming gender in local government conducted by GL with the cities of Johannesburg, eThekwini and Msunduzi over the period 2004-2007 with support from the Mott Foundation.
