Key Facts
The programme seeks to contribute towards equity and full equality between women, men, boys and girls as well as their improved livelihoods, through the formulation and implementation of gender sensitive budgets that are responsive to the priorities and different needs of women, men, youth, the disabled and the elderly. ZWRCN’s strategic approach to achieve the programme goals includes human capacity building, research and publications, advocacy, networking and coalition building. The programme is being piloted in six districts, targeting decision making structures within local authorities, as well as community based organisations, civil society groups, researchers, media and citizens. The pilot districts, where partner organisations have worked on institutionalising participatory budgeting, are Mutoko, Masvingo, Bulawayo, Gweru, Kwekwe and Kadoma. ZWRCN is adding value through introducing a gender dimension to the participatory budgeting process.
