Office of the Special Adviser on Africa

Purpose: Empowerment of women for gender equality.
Illustrative Project: New Acts are being drafted and passed in the democratic South Africa. WDF engaged women in the development of the Land Act; ran workshops in many rural areas to discuss the proposal by Government; got women to contribute to this and sent their submissions; attended the hearings and made final inputs to ensure that the final Act is gender sensitive. Followed the same process with the Act on Local Government.
