ARE GENDER AND GBV CONCERNS AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR BOTH WOMEN AND
MEN? HOW ARE THEY INVOLVED? • Gender and GBV concerns and
responsibilities are for both sexes as bad gender practices have been caused
by them and so they are the ones who can solve them. Communities i.e WDCs in the rural set up and RDCs in urban set up are targeted with gender and GBV educational talks and campaigns against GBV

50% SADC protocol targets while the higher structures still have a long way to attain the same.
• Significant impact is at grass root level as structures are formulated on 50% basis.

SUSTAINABILITY AND REPLICATION
• Since formulation of grassroot structures is base on 50% women and men representation, where gender
equity is being appreciated to be the best practice for sustainable development, the COE process is replicatable.
