Namibia: Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare leads the SADC region in developing a Policy and Action Plan

The process of developing the National gender Policy and Plans was firstly pre-determined by the situational analysis conducted to map out gender issues. Although there were so many gender issues identified, the policy has picked up only few areas of concern to address at a time. Then, this was followed up by the consultative workshop to validate the information and prioritize areas of concern. Thereafter the Plan follows using the consultative platform to operationalize the Policy.
