3 Executive Summary This is a report on the proceedings of the Local Government Gender Based Violence action plan workshop held on October 2009 at the Overberg District municipality. The West Coast District Municipality has five local municipalities namely Theewaterskloof, Cape Agulhas, Overstrand and Swellendam local municipalities. The purpose of the programme was to; Establish the status of the Gender Action Plans developed in Popularise the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development. Develop 365 Day Local Action Plans to end Gender Based Violence or strengthen existing GBV action plans. Develop messages for backstopping the local 365 Day Action Plans to end GBV. Establish communication strategies for the GBV action plans. Inform councils about the collection of good practices for addressing GBV at the local level and in the Gender Justice and Local Government Summit. See the full workshop programme attached at Annex A. The workshop was attended by participants 6 (3 men and 3 women); see Annex B for the full workshop participants list. Current status report on GAP (gender action plan) and GBVP (gender based violence action plans) can be found in a table depicting the current status in terms of challenges and support required, attached at Annex C. All for the group work and discussions are attached at Annex D. The Draft District Gender Based Violence Action Plans that the participants produced are extremely weak but they almost refused to draft any unless there was buy in from the relevant stakeholders. What was produced is attached at Annex E. The GBV messages/slogans/posters and calendar are attached at Annex F. The SADC Protocol village level report is attached at Annex G. The participants evaluated the workshop as having been an insightful workshop. They did find the outputs unrealistic as the target audience was incorrect. A summarised version of the evaluation forms is attached at the end of this report at Annex H. A meeting report of a scheduled meeting to discuss a way forward is attached at Annex I. 3
4 Background The 365 days of Action is a concept, first adopted in South Africa, to extend the 16 days of Activism on Gender violence Campaign to a coordinated and comprehensive year-long response to end gender violence through the development of a National Action Plan. The plan serves as an important tool to strengthen efforts to end gender violence by holding governments, civil society and other stakeholders responsible for commitments they make. The United Nations Secretary General s 2006 report on gender violence highlights the significance of: Comprehensive and coordinated National Action Plans driven by governments States should build and sustain strong multi-sectoral strategies, coordinated nationally and locally Work to end violence against women requires not only a clear demonstration of political commitment but also systematic and sustained action, backed by strong, dedicated and permanent institutional mechanisms. States should build on the work done by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), scale up and institutionalize it and share experiences with other countries The SADC Gender and Development Protocol signed in August 2008 sets a target for governments to halve current levels of gender based violence by 2015 and emphasises that States should adopt an integrated approach to address gender violence. South Africa adopted a 365 Day National Action Plan in May 2006 which was launched by the Deputy President in March However, national action plans are only as good as they are implemented at local level if they are to make a difference in the lives of ordinary women, men, girls and boys. The project to develop gender action plans for local government was the outcome of a number of processes. Following the launch of the research, At the Coalface: Gender and Local Government in Southern Africa, Gender Links in partnership with SALGA Gauteng convened a roundtable meeting to review the Gender Policy Framework for Local Government and plan for effective gender mainstreaming in governance processes in the sphere of local government. The final Gender Policy Framework for Local Government was launched in August In November 2007 provincial representatives from SALGA joined a Training of Trainers workshop in Johannesburg to develop the Gender Action Plan Manual for South Africa that was to be used to roll out the gender action plans in all provinces from April to July In 2008 the Western Cape, along with other provinces, developed a gender action plan in which gender based violence included. In this plan gender based violence features as one of the key areas of service delivery. It should be noted that as this was a provincial plan and as such required further fine tuning to suit the specific needs and circumstances of each municipality in the province. Some municipalities have gone ahead and developed their local action plans while others are still in the process of doing this. 4
5 The intention of the GBV action plan workshops is to build on the preceding processes as well as to provide support and backstopping. Participants are encouraged to take time to reflect on progress that has been made in addressing gender violence since these initiatives as well as address the challenges that have been encountered by the different municipalities in developing local plans. The opportunity is also used to devise strategies for collecting good practices to showcase at the first annual Southern Africa local government and Gender Justice Summit and Awards. Process and activities The manual titled, Localising gender justice initiatives allows for maximum participation of participants through various plenary and group work sessions. Gender action plan current status update With each of the nine provinces in South Africa having a developed gender action plan by July 2008 (processes referred to above), it is important to get an update on the status of these and to find out during the GBV action plan workshops if these plans have been filtered down to all district and local municipalities. This session is used to establish whether they have been adopted, whether GBV action plans already exist, and what some of the challenges are that are hindering implementation as well as the kind of support SALGA and GL can offer to address these challenges. Highlights are also shared and a way forward it mapped where necessary. SADC protocol quiz With the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development having been adopted in August 2008, a need was indentified to design a programme that domesticated the Protocol through village and community level workshops, with the aims of raising awareness around the Gender Protocol at the grassroots level. The SADC Protocol on Gender and Development module of the GBV action training manual uses a short SADC knowledge quiz is to test the participants knowledge on the protocol, these quiz results are then consolidated (as below) and the results are use as baseline data on Protocol knowledge. Participants go on to discuss and prioritise the various targets and how these can be implemented in the everyday work of councils. NB: Please see the SADC protocol village level report attached at Annex G and the discussion that followed. Checklist for change and developing a GBV action plan Local government can address gender based violence as a key service delivery issue in a number of ways and before participants start the process of developing the actual GBV action plan, the group goes through a checklist for change that can assist municipalities to get started on either developing a local action plan to end GBV or to see if their action plan addresses key concerns. This checklist is put together across the levels that local government use for planning, i.e. prevention, support, response and coordination and it also includes the transversal issues of monitoring and evaluation and budgets. 5
6 Communicating the action plan Once the participants have developed their GBV action plans, it is important for them to identify very practical tools that they can use to communicate their action plans that target the members of their relevant communities. Communicating gender based violence issues to communities is difficult and therefore if participants have any questions around communication these GBV action plans, it should be addressed during this particular session and therefore it is important that local government officials and councillors put across their messages on GBV to their community members more effectively. Southern Africa Local Government and Gender Justice Summit Before officially concluding the workshop and after summarising everything that was presented during workshops, participants are taken through a PowerPoint presentation on the first Southern Africa local government and gender justice summit and awards that will be taking place. The application process and adjudication process is explained and pamphlets are distributed to all participants. Outcomes Roadmap for ending gender violence at the local level, specific to the needs of that particular municipality / community. Mechanisms for sharing good practice and strengthening practice on the ground. Way Forward All relevant role-players should attend this workshop. A meeting scheduled for December will include gender and the SADC Protocol where Gender Links has been asked to help to ensuring the Action Plan gets drawn up. Mayors, MMs and Directors will be present at that meeting. Once an Action Plan has been drawn up by relevant stakeholders it can be adopted at council meeting. 6

West Coast District municipality Process what needs to happen next? The people who attended were very few and did not feel very hopeful about the way forward. On the first day I sourced the necessary people and arranged to meet with them on the second day. What has been used to communicate GBV SAPS do the communicating, we are the role-players. NGOs and CBOs organised a march on women s abuse to spread the word. Loud hailers and media was used. We need to get the message on Prevention, Support, Budget, Men, women and children across. Reduce or eliminate violence against women and children or gender based violence, ensure counselling for victims of abuse. The law must take its course.

Understanding SADC Protocol on Gender and development. Everything. This was my first time on such a course. DVD. Communicating the GBV Action Plan. To get started on a communication strategy in the Municipality. Listening to what other municipalities have done with regards to mainstreaming. It is good to learn from each other s achievements and mistakes. 2. Which session did you find least useful? Why? Everything was interesting (2). Working on the action plan. The group was too small and the participants felt that they were the wrong people for the job. 3. How will you apply what you have gained from this engagement? a. Would like to get more involved in gender issues. b. Will be more focussed on GBV. c. Take it back to Programme Manager. d.

23 Annex I: Meeting with Deputy Mayor EVENT REPORT BACK FORM NAME OF GL STAFF DESIGNATION EVENT LOCATION Colleen Ryan Gender and Governance Co-ordinator Meeting with Deputy Mayor, Warnick October at Overberg District Municipality Overberg District Municipality, Bredasdorp DATE 23 October 2009 KEY CONTACTS Telephone Fax E mail Address Warnick October warnicko@odm.gov.za OBJECTIVES I had held my first day of the GBV Local Action Plan workshops and only five people attended. I needed to devise a strategy for ensuring the training gets supported by the relevant people. I had asked who the appropriate person in Council would be and was referred to the Deputy BRIEF DESCRITION OF EVENT REASONS FOR GL s PARTICIPATION Mayor. Meeting with Deputy Mayor of Overberg District Municipality to discuss a strategy for developing an Action Plan for Gender Based Violence as a key service delivery issue. This is a District where a GBV Action Plan should be developed at District Level. NATURE OF GLS INPUT I explained the process leading up to our conducting the said workshop and its importance given our legal obligations, ie. Constitution and local government s role. I then introduced the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development and highlighted the targets and SA s commitment to achieving it. I also highlighted the importance of it being in KPAs. OUTCOME- GENERAL The input was found very useful and I was referred to the Programme Manager, Mr Winston October, who then popped in while I was conducting the workshop. OUTCOME- GL I was invited to attend a Summit on Planning for the Overberg District by the Programme Manager that is to be held on 02 & 03 December with all the local municipalities of the area to then introduce the SADC Protocol and to possibly decide on a way forward to draw up an Action Plan. Present at the summit would be the Mayors, Speakers, Members of Portfolio Committees, Ward Committee members and Councillors. 23
24 ANY SPECIFIC POINTS This would be a brilliant strategy to ensure that Gender gets put FOR OTHER UNITS/ on the agenda and gets highlighted to the appropriate persons in SATELLITE OFFICES TO decision making positions. This would be very nice especially NOTE since the District seems to not see Gender as an important matter judging by their attendance at the workshop. NEXT STEPS To get approval from Management whether I could attend this event. ANY OTHER COMMENTS I do think it would be quite a good time to do it given that it was during the 16 days of Activism Campaign. Mr October thought that this would make my input very appropriate given that it would be done during the campaign. 24
