Gender Policy Framework for Local Government
Ministry of Gender and Human Rights, South Africa
The policy acknowledges the important role to be played by local governments in achieving the “better life for all” goal of the government of the Republic; through effective facilitation of social and economic development of communities and households. As women comprise a greater proportion of the population in South Africa, the government seeks to leverage their empowerment as drivers for its goal. The policy thus provides guidance and support to the sector around gender mainstreaming and women’s empowerment. It is being aided by the Local Government Strategic Agenda and the National Policy for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality.
