Gender & Inclusion
The Gender Sector Working Group (GSWG) is a collective of development partners and government sectors in Ethiopia. Their primary aim is to engage in and support policy dialogue on gender equality and women’s empowerment issues. One of their key objectives is to enhance the capacity and skill of agencies, technical working groups, development partners, and governments to identify gender gaps and propose solutions in policies.
In addition, the GSWG works to strengthen coordination and harmonization of the integration of gender equality and women’s empowerment issues in policy dialogues. They also contribute to evidence-based policy formulation to realize gender equality and women’s empowerment in Ethiopia.
Furthermore, the GSWG aims to strengthen the exchange of experiences among the group members on gender issues. They contribute to policy discussions with the Government, within the Development Partners Group (DPG), with other sector working groups, and with other development partners and stakeholders. This comprehensive approach allows them to address gender issues from multiple angles and work towards a more equitable society.
