Background to the 2018 summit

The Summits in Zimbabwe started in 2012 with the first ever Gender Justice & Local Government Summit hosted by Gender Links (GL) at Kadoma. This has since become an annual event in the Gender Links calendar. With pressure and popularity increasing the summits were brought down to District level as from 2013-2015, where GL hosted both summits at District Level and National level. These saw local authorities, government departments and civil society converge to showcase their best practices. As the SADC Protocol on Gender & Development neared its end there was need for a review of the gains of the SADC Protocol as well as build momentum for a strong Post 2015 agenda thus the main focus of the 2015 Summit was on the Post 2015 Agenda & SDGs. The 2016 summit which ran under the theme: 50/50 by 2030: Empower Women, End Violence, was a forerunner to the Sixteen days of Activism from 25 November to 10 December 2016. Prior to this summit 79 councils had joined the Centres of Excellence programme for Gender in Local Government.

Figure 1: Number of case studies from the 2012-2018 Summits

Figure 1 shows the number of case studies presented at summits since 2012. The summits have seen a combined 642 case studies have been collected by the Zimbabwe country office since 2012. The 2018 national summit had the most number of case studies of any year with 175 entries collected. However, only 86 of these were presented at the summit. Programme Welcome and introduction Melania Mandeya as the director of ceremonies, welcomed all officials, partners, donors and participants to the summit. She highlighted that the summit was unique in that, it had once again brought best practices from local authorities across the 10 provinces from Zimbabwe, having had the last summit in 2016. This is one which councils had been looking forward to having. Summit objectives

The Zimbabwe Country Manager, Priscilla Maposa gave a brief background to the summit and the COE process for the benefit of those individuals who were not familiar with the work that gender links was doing the summit objectives as follows:

Plenary Discussion on local government

The Summit was characterized by a plenary discussion on Gender and Local Government - What are the gaps? What strategies can be put in place to address the gaps? The discussion was led by four panellists that is Melania Mandeya Town Secretary for Gokwe Town Council, Dr. Munoriarwa C.E.O for Bindura RDC, Mr. Chinake C.E.O for Mutare RDC and Mrs Zhou Chamber Secretary for Bulawayo City Council. The panellists started by introducing themselves to the summit participants and presentations were done. Below are the key issues that came out of the presentations: Gaps

Lack of scientific research on the causes of GBV Females and males do not have equal access and opportunities in Zimbabwe. Women are not able to live free of violence and discrimination. All 17 SDGs depend on the achievement of Goal 5 ( Gender Equality) Restrictive cultural practices, laws and regulations are still in place and they are

disadvantage women and girls. Property rights are still beyond the reach of most women and girls in Zimbabwe. There is lack of political will to drive the gender agenda. Critical decision making meetings are conducted outside office hours and most women will

not participate. Lack of mindset change programmes. No strategies in place to educate young children on gender. Gender equality is being viewed as a "women's issue." Corruption in the political arena is frustrating the efforts being made by women to occupy

political positions. Parents are reinforcing gender stereotypes through treating their children differently.

Strategies

Inclusion of gender in the education curriculum. Formulation and implementation of policies that corrects property ownership injustices. Local Authorities must play an active role in fighting GBV in their communities. Councils must work towards the achievement of SDGs. Creation of programmes that targets traditional and political leaders to sensitise them on

gender equality. Creation of programmes that aims at mind-set change. Put mechanisms in place to fight corruption and ensure that women who are vying for

political positions have access to adequate resources. Programmes that educates parents on how to properly raise their children without

reinforcing gender stereotypes.

gender notions particularly Section 17 which states that “The State must promote full gender balance in Zimbabwean society, and in particular the State must promote the full participation of women in all spheres of Zimbabwean society on the basis of equality with men”. He stated that the Constitution of any country confirms the existence of rights. He highlighted that when people talk about gender sensitivity and women’s rights people are talking of existing and natural entities. He stated that Sections 48 to 78 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe articulate the rights of people i.e.

1. The right to life. 2. The right to personal liberty. 3. Rights of arrested and detained persons. 4. The right to human dignity. 5. The right to personal security. 6. The right to privacy. 7. The right to education. 8. The right to marriage.

The Permanent Secretary stated that as people worked on balancing gender in other spheres there ought to be a balance of gender in the households. He urged local authorities to ensure that gender violence was reduced as it was moved by poverty which he viewed as the major cause for conflict.

The Permanent Secretary urged local authorities to ensure that they made information on services available to the general populace. Speaking on the need for observance of basic freedoms people had, he stated that, “you are not more important than the next person”. The Permanent Secretary stated in his speech that the summit has been invaluable as it has proved to be a learning and sharing platform. He commended Gender Link’s work as he stated that the work being done to advance gender in the country was being felt through the councils. The Permanent Secretary reiterated that “this summit has come at the right time when there is need for refocusing and promoting the attainment of gender and good practices in local government at grassroots level for this is where our people live and hence where service delivery and development must occur". He was glad to note that the government of Zimbabwe had prioritized the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially SGG 5 on gender equality Finally the Permanent Secretary urged everyone to keep progressing towards the attainment of gender equality. “Local action is needed for us to attain meaningful progress in the SDGs and SADC Protocol on Gender and Development. There is still need to increase the momentum on attaining gender equality commitments. Awards Ceremony

The awards ceremony was very colourful whose major highlight was the “I” Story from one of the entrepreneurs, Tecla Hove who gave a narration of her experiences as a survivor of gender violence and now successful entrepreneur in the rural community of Zvimba. Hers was a story that reminded everyone of the need to fight against gender violence. In all her troubles she came out the stronger person.

Judges’ feedback

Judges were afforded the opportunity to give their comments regards the presentations made during the 2 day summit. Representing the judges Thandiwe Mlobane made the following recommendations:

project design; the projects should not be participants’ day to day activities.

Participants were urged to make sure that there was a link between project objectives; budgets; activities; impact and results.

In terms of monitoring and evaluation there is need for projects to clearly outline the indicators as well as baseline figures that will enable for the tracking of change.

Regards PowerPoint presentations, there was need for presentations to have relevant pictures which speak to the project. The font of the slides must be visible and less overcrowded.

The evidence file must contain information only relevant to the project and presentation.

The presenter’s dress code was very important, and presenters should try as much as possible to be formally dressed.

This category attracted 29 (10 Rural District Councils and 19 Urban Councils) entrants from local government councils. This was purely for Centres of Excellence (COE) councils that had undergone the verification process prior to the summit. This year’s edition saw GL giving recognition certificates to each COE that took part at the summit. Unique about the certificates is that they carry the UNWOMEN Seal and are colour coded based on the range of marks obtained by presenting a case study. The marks are reviewed annually depending on progress. For this summit the highest scores fell in the gold category, an improvement from the last summit when there were no gold (80-89%) or platinum (90-100%) level councils.

Valuable judges’ comments that show areas of improvement. Lessons Learned

Online judging and scoring of case studies a great improvement to the summit adjudication system.

Online judging can be a slow process if the internet is slow so a backup system is critical to offset any online connectivity challenges.

The absence of a summit in 2017 was evident as some projects and councils showed a decline in gender programming.

Next Steps

GL has handed over the sunrise campaign to 10 local authorities so they break the cycle of violence against women.

GL to strengthen the COE programme through the hub and spoke mechanisms of learning and sharing.

The country's post-2015 agenda must be focused on the acceleration of the advancement of gender equality and women's rights.

COMMENTS 1. Which session did you find most useful? Why?

The objectives of the summit were most useful to most of us. Presentations -- learnt a lot. Peer learning where participants were presenting with the aid of PowerPoints. Project presentations which were very educative and eye opening. All.

Presentation sessions gave us the opportunity to learn from others as well as networking.

Gender Based Violence presentations session because it dealt with more gender issues and points were highlighted to strive in addressing the issues.

Presentations and judges questions help councils in data collection and understanding the scope of the necessary requirements.

Questioning time by the judges. entrepreneurship category was the most useful for it gave many insights to life

survival skills

2. Which session did you find least useful and Why?

none

plenary session since most presenters viewed it as boring

3. How will you apply this?

Encouraging both boys and girls from primary school level to work hard and target for higher positions in life.

Will set up a gender desk and assign a gender focal person to mend relationships between all stakeholders.

Community engagement creating equal platforms for men and women. Correcting areas of weaknesses that l now know. Copying what is being done by other councils. Networking and applying good practices. report back to CEO and give recommendations -review meetings on Gender Action

Plans with HODs -community engagement meetings -improving on documentation of activities

4. Any other comment?

Thanking Gender Links for addressing the gender disparities in our communities.

Such sessions ought to be seriously taken into schools so as to encourage the girl

child to be involved in decision making.

Gender Links has to share the project questionnaire with prospective participants on

time thus enabling everyone enough time to prepare for submission of the projects.

Gender Links, l salute you.

Organize more summits if funds permit.

None.

Gender Links should provide clear guidelines of what is expected of the presentations

to cater for first time presenters.

Duration of summit was good and meals were excellent.

Accommodation and meals were fine.

A wonderful event to market a business.

Summit was very good, well organised.
