| Synopsis: |
Since the advent of democracy in 1994, local government in South Africa has become a more important sphere than before: it is bigger than it once was, and has particular responsibility for local development. Integrated development plans (IDPs) play a key role in this context. They provide strategic direction to the work of municipalities and to the activities of government departments. Nevertheless, they are required to follow national guidelines. This report provides a summary of research on how South Africa's commitments to gender equality fare in this context. Focusing on three case studies of municipalities in Kwa-Zulu Natal, the research examined whether national gender policy directives and guidelines are taken through in local government, IDP processes and outcomes, and in implementation. Drawing on workshops with several stakeholders, the document also looks at how practice might be improved. It hopes to stimulate thinking and debate on how to promote women's rights and gender equality within decentralisation, IDP and project. |
