As known, the Association of Local Authorities (ALAN) and Gender Links (GL) in collaboration with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare and the Ministry of Regional and Local Government, Housing and Rural Development, has developed and endorsed the ALAN Gender Strategy. This Strategy is geared toward mainstreaming gender conditions necessary to increase the representation of women in local government while increasing knowledge and awareness on mainstreaming gender activities at the local government level.
