The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) underscores promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment (GEWE) as a critical imperative for fostering resilience, regional integration and peace for sustainable development in the region.
Gender equality is a priority cross-cutting policy theme that requires both targeted interventions for the empowerment of women as well as mainstreaming gender in IGAD’s sectoral policies, strategies and programmes. To give e ect to this principle, IGAD’s Gender Policy Framework (2012-2020) highlights key gender issues across all IGAD’s priority program areas, identi es and harmonizes common priorities in Member State Gender Policies, and outlines key interventions to be executed by various actors.
The IGAD Workplace Gender Policy is an inward looking instrument aimed at strengthening IGAD systems, structures, processes and practices to support the promotion of GEWE. The Workplace Gender Policy is binding on all IGAD Sta , consultants and service providers and complements the Regional Gender Policy Framework and other periodic related policies/ strategies.
