OKACOM Gender Mainstreaming Strategy and Implementation Plan

The Permanent Okavango River Basin Water Commission (OKACOM) Gender Mainstreaming Strategy and Implementation Plan has been formulated to guide OKACOM’s efforts on gender equality in all spheres of the RBOs programmes. This Strategy acknowledges that policies, systems, organisational processes and technical competencies can play a significant role in entrenching gender responsive practices. It is anticipated that the measures outlined in the Strategy will facilitate and support the transformation of norms, legal frameworks and policies towards gender equality in OKACOM, within the Basin States as well as the local and international collaborating partners.
