Local Authorities wear the cap!
THE eve of 19th of May marked a bright ceremony at Pandhari Lodge in Glen Lorne, Harare as thirty six Local Authorities received their certificates after a two year training programme on Local Governance Capacity Building in Gender Mainstreaming.
 The certificate presentation ceremony took place after a two-day workshop that set to wrap up the whole programme and forecast on to the future of these council’s operations and come up with possible strategies to  improve gender mainstreaming.

The Women’s Trust is a not for profit organisation working for empowerment of women in tertiary institutions and rural communities to enable them to participate fully in national development processes.
The Women’s Trust was formed with the realisation that while there is already a dynamic and vibrant women’s movement in Zimbabwe, there remains a gap in relation to enhancing the capacities of women in decision making.
Changes taking place globally call for a new way of planning developing priorities and for changing the processes of managing this development. In order for effective and positive development to take place, it is important for women to access positions of decision making, while on the other hand ensuring that the capacities of those already in power are enhanced to enable them to be key players in championing gender responsiveness in their respective communities and institutions.
