FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : SADC Protocol@Work Summit s to start with district summits in 2014

Deadline for district summit submissions is 7 March; national summits 20 March. For more information go to: http://www.genderlinks.org.za/page/gender-summit

Johannesburg, 24 February: The SADC Gender Protocol Summit and Awards soar to greater heights this year with 14 district, 12 national and a regional summit calling on governments to account for their commitments to gender equality in the critical countdown to 2015. The summits will also witness the launch, from the ground up, of a movement from a strong post 2015 global and SADC gender agenda.

Gender Links (GL), the Southern African Gender Protocol Alliance, local government associations, Faith Based Organisations and the Gender and Media Diversity Centre (GMDC) with the collaboration of the SADC Gender Unit, will coordinate the SADC Gender Protocol@Work summits under the strapline “50/50 by 2015 and a strong post 2015 agenda.”

The summits will serve as a loud speaker for the call to step up the pace on fulfilling the 28 targets on the SADC Protocol before the 2015 deadline. With ten elections in the region between now and the end of 2015, the Alliance and partners will especially focus on the 50/50 campaign and use the elections to demand government actions and accountability.

This year, for the first time, in a bid to strengthen the reach and impact of the SADC Protocol@Work Summit at the local level, summits will be cascaded to the district level in ten SADC countries. The district summits will serve to verify the work of nearly 200 Councils that have developed and are implementing gender action plans through the Centres of Excellence for Gender in Local Government initiative.

During March and April, partners will convene 14 preparatory district summits and 12 preparatory national summits in Botswana, DRC, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, culminating in a regional summit held in Johannesburg from 26-28 May.

The 2014 SADC Protocol@Work Summit will have a stronger institutional and sustainability focus, with new categories for government ministries and the Alliance networks. The first new category is on the 50/50 campaign, to put the spotlight on SADC countries holding elections over the next two years, and turn up the pressure for delivery. The second category is on gender and climate change, to increase pressure for strong provisions on gender and sustainable development in the post-2015 agenda. In addition, a 50/50 and post-2015 working meeting will follow each national summit, and all recommendations will be consolidated at the regional summit – see http://www.genderlinks.org.za/page/policy-briefs.

The summits date back to the biannual Gender and Media Summits from 2004, joined in 2010 by annual Gender Justice and Local Government Summits. In 2013 GL, the Alliance, Faith Based Organisations, local government associations and media houses combined forces to host one overall 2013 SADC Protocol@Work Summit. The regional summit followed twelve national summits bringing to together over 1400 participants and gathering 742 best practices of the SADC Gender Protocol @ Work.

After a gruelling judging process, GL and the Southern African Gender Protocol Alliance awarded 45 gender champions (34 women and 11 men) prizes for their efforts to put the SADC Gender Protocol to work. Former South African deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, now head of UNWOMEN presented the awards at the joyous ceremony held under the banner, "2015, yes we can, and yes we must!"

Current chair of SADC and the only woman head of state in SADC Joyce Banda sent a video message to the summit, urging all governments to step up their efforts to meet the targets of the unique sub-regional instrument that brings together all existing commitments to gender equality and enhances them through targets and timeframes.

With this slogan in mind, GL and Southern African Gender Protocol Alliance is calling for entries at local and national level, from civil society and Faith Based Organisations; government ministries; local government councils and media. The closing date for district level entries is 7 March 2014 and entries for national level close at 5 pm 20 March 2014.

CONCEPT PAPER: THE SADC GENDER PROTOCOL SUMMIT 201450/50 by 2015: Demanding a strong post 2015 agenda!

Synopsis

Gender Links, the Southern African Gender Protocol Alliance, local government associations, and the Gender and Media Diversity Centre will host the Southern Africa Gender Protocol Summits to gather evidence of the SADC Gender Protocol@Work. With the strapline “50/50 by 2015 and a strong post 2015 agenda”, the initiative, that has the support for the SADC Gender Unit, will also make a concerted call for increasing the momentum on implementation in the run up to 2015.

ObjectivesThe SADC Gender Protocol Summits and Awards aim to achieve the following at local, country and regional level: Take stock and turn up the pressure for implementation and accountability in

the final count- down to 2015. Make use of the upcoming elections in the SADC region to demand women’s

equality. Lobby for a strong post 2015 SADC Gender Protocol that incorporates missing

areas such as sustainable development, and strengthens the commitment to women’s rights.

Profile and affirm the work of media and local government Gender Centres of Excellence and create synergies between their efforts.

Build linkages between the media and local government work on the ground as part of the broader objective of gender responsive governance and accountability, and developing a critical citizenry around the SADC Gender Protocol and the MDGs.

Develop strategic partnerships and networking opportunities. Strengthen the gender movement from local to national to regional to

international level.

Background Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

The United Nations MDG’s aim to meet the needs of the world’s poorest. With eight goals, ranging from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV and AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015, the MDGs form a blue print agreed on by all the world’s

6

countries and most development institutions. Goal Three is concerned with promoting gender equality and empowering women. This includes eliminating gender discrimination in different sectors.

The Post 2015 Agenda: As 2015 approaches, there is a mounting global debate on the Post 2015 agenda, and the need to strengthen gender provisions within that. The gender critique of the MDG’s is that they take a functionalist, basic needs approach to gender equality, side stepping core issues like GBV. The watchwords of those campaigning for a strong gender agenda post 2015 is “voice, choice and control” – see policy brief http://www.genderlinks.org.za/page/policy-briefs.

SADC Protocol on Gender and Development and the Alliance In August 2008, SADC Heads of State and Governments signed the ground-breaking SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, elevating the SADC Declaration to a more binding regional instrument. With its 28 targets to be achieved by 2015, the Protocol provides Southern Africa with a road map for the fulfilment of the MDGs. Because of its breadth and specificity, the SADC Gender

Protocol goes well beyond the requirements of the MDGs. Southern Africa’s experience is therefore very valuable in the crafting of the post-2015 agenda. At the same time, Southern Africa has much to benefit from the post 2015 debates. As the SADC Gender Protocol has moved into implementation, it has become apparent that there are some areas that need strengthening, such as sustainable development. The campaign for an addendum to the Protocol on Gender

and Climate Change has been merged with the broader campaign for a strong post 2015 SADC Gender Protocol. 2014 is a critical year to shape this agenda.

Centres of Excellence for Gender in the Media A key development over the last two years is The Centers of Excellence (COE) concept for media (media houses and media training institutions). The COE concept is a follow to the gender and local government and media research, training, advocacy, gender policy and action plans that have been taking place in SADC since 2001. The lessons learned from this early work is that the best way to effect change is to work at institutional level; demonstrate that change is possible through affirming good practice and sharing experiences at summits, and then cascading this work inspired by the dictum: “nothing succeeds like success.” In the media, institutions develop and implement gender policies. This includes a ten stage on-the-job training for journalists structured around the ten themes of the SADC Gender Protocol. GL has produced training manuals for the media COEs. Currently GL is working with 119 media houses (in 13 SADC countries) that have committed to become Centres of Excellence for Gender Mainstreaming. GL is also working with 16 media training institutions on mainstreaming gender in their curriculums. During the 2011 Sixteen Day campaign, GL brought together media and local government COEs to plan and profile local government efforts to combat gender based violence. This project saw media covering the work of local government COEs and local government providing media with vital sources on gender based violence.

Gender and Media summits and awards

Since 2004, GL and partner organisations have held the regional Gender and Media (GEM) summits every two years. The first GEM summit, a collaborative effort between Gender Links and the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) took place in 2004 under the banner ‘Making Every Voice count’. This summit

followed the launch of the Gender and Media Baseline Study (GMBS) in 2003. It was at this summit that media partners formed the Gender and Media Southern Africa Network (GEMSA). Subsequent summits took place in 2006, 2008 and 2010.

SADC Protocol@Work Summit 2013

In 2013, GL, the Alliance, Faith Based Organisations, local government associations, media houses and media training institutions combined forces to host one SADC Prorocol@Work Summit. The regional summit followed twelve national summits bringing to together over 1400 participants and gathering 742 best practices of the SADC Gender Protocol @ Work.
