Introduction

Gobabis is a city in eastern Namibia and is the regional capital of the Omaheke Region. Gobabis is in the heart of the cattle farming area. In fact Gobabis is so proud of its cattle farming that a statue of a large Brahman bull with the inscription “Cattle Country” greets visitors to the town.
Gobabis is a Town Council and has the potential to host the Centres of Excellence for Gender mainstreaming in Local Authorities. The Council has successfully completed stages 1-6 & 10. It will host soon the new COE stages 4-5. This is one of the Councils, where all Council do attend any GL workshop at the town.
