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 2007. 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 2007. 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 2008. In 2008 the Northern 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.
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.
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.
Challenges • Not necessarily the correct target group in attendance to ensure the process moves
forward. • Technology when showing the DVD can be challenging where the equipment does
not work properly. We improvised and watched from the laptop. We were delayed
in showing DVD looking for speakers.
Way Forward • The group was informed by SALGA that the way forward would be for
representatives who were present at the workshop commit to attend the Working Group meeting to be held on 15 - 16 October in Upington.
• They will be launching the 16 days campaign but not only 16 days now but 365
days. • A technical team will be established and this team will then take it to local
communities.

Annex D: Group work and discussions
Discussions: Comments and questions that followed after the SADC protocol quiz
• This is very good information. • This information should be given to the senior
officials and people in senior positions.
• We did not have access to this type of information.
Exercise: What is the SADC protocol on gender and development?
Group 1: What work is already happening to achieve the targets in the Protocol? • We have established the following forums or councils e.g. HIV and Aids Council;
Women against crime; community police forums; local economic development forums; youth against crime; Moral Regeneration Movement; a Thusong Centre;
Love Life; and a Victim empowerment programme.
Group 2: Have a look at the pamphlet with all of the targets, which of these would you prioritise? • Article 26: Health
• Article 27: Hiv/Aids • Article 14: Education and Training • Article 29: and
• Article 20-25: GBV Group 3: How can the targets in the Protocol be included in the work of your councils? • Gender Needs Analysis.
• Draft of the Policy. • Involvement of stakeholders for input. • IDP Process (budgetary purposes).
• Council. • Make use of existing council committees e.g. Social
Committee which will address issues like HIV and Aids in line
with the Protocol. E.g. Infrastructure committee will deal with productive resources and employment.
Group 4: How can you begin to popularize the SADC protocol?
Distribute to all the state institutions.

Community awareness campaigns. Can also be sent through intranet. Local newspaper and radio.
Discussions: Questions and comments that took place during the Checklist for change for local government section
Group 1:
It is a mind shift that needs to be made. Yes it is a critical issue because it is a very much service delivery issue.
Local communities are aware of present programmes. We have no action plans in place so we can‟t identify gaps.
Re budget – no answer. We need to do all on page 10 and 11 in manual.
Group 2:
We need to respect gender equality to restore respect, dignity and confidence. Not seen as an issue in Kammiesberg and Nama-Khoi.
Communities are not aware no programmes. Gaps – in the absence of programmes there are
no gaps. No budget.
Will make recommendations to Council re Action Plan developed at this workshop.
Group 3:
Most GBV affects women but men do experience it too.
Yes it affects communities. Community hears about this but there is no
programmes. GAPS – response legal aid for victims; Co-ord –
CGTA absent. Budget must be linked. Develop a plan in line with SADC Protocol and National Action Plan.

Annex F: Messages / slogans / posters
This group did not complete the table but instead divided into groups and developed posters.
Group 1:
This group chose 09 August to focus on women
and children with the slogan reading “Stop Women and Child Abuse”.
Group 2:
This group chose 25 November, the International Day of
No Violence against women as their day. Much discussion is
held while looking at the poster and many of the participants felt that their poster was not attractive enough and the HIV logo did not make sense in the
poster. The group liked the exercise very much as it gave them time to think through the message and how it should be communicated. They also felt that
if the message is not clear enough you do not achieve the desired effect.
Group 3:
Everyone liked this group poster as it felt that they liked the scale that they tried to depict to achieve
gender equality. The message was well received. The picture was not altogether clear at the top with the boy on the scale.
Group 4:
This group chose June 16 which is the day of the
African child. They felt that drawing the map
was a nice way of including all and this was
very well received. The poster was clear and their slogan read:
Africa Weeps, Africa cry, Africa Awakes – Stop abuse of our children.

COMMENTS
1. Which session did you find most useful? Why? Developing an action plan.
Protocol on gender and development, gender justice initiatives (2).
Doing posters. Found all sessions useful, learned a lot.
Because this can bring a more workable plan forward the Action Plan was the best.
The group work session. We learn from
each other and network. GBV Action plan – to put a realistic plan in
place (3). All the sessions were useful and
understandable I have learned a lot. All sessions were useful because I learn
very much. DVD and group sessions were very
enlightening.
Working out the action plan. Can use it to be implemented in the municipality.
I know more about gender issues in other countries and local government.
2. Which session did you find least useful?
27
Why?
Nothing at all, everything was super. Quiz.
Action Plans. None (4)
Because I don‟t understand it that much and need more information on how to do action plans.
All very good I am going to implement them. All was useful (3).
All the sessions was so provocative that I found it unbelievable not having prior access to it.
Communicating the GBV Action Plan – it must look at not only Municipalities.
3. How will you apply what you have gained from this engagement?
To empower my community.
By conducting workshops by arranging meetings and compiling a report. To implement it to our workplace.
Try to combat all violence. Make people aware of GBV in the municipality.
I did learn a lot but think that more political representatives must be included.
Compile reports and distribute them starting at Municipality.
Give a full report on this session to the Mayor. Share information with my colleagues and other role-
players. Consult with HOD‟s and Council.
Consult with council and other departments. Some officials must apply.
I will be able to draft a local Gender Plan for council to implement.
Report to council and make recommendation for targets to be implemented in Municipal area – official to be implemented in Municipality.
Report to the council meeting so that they can establish a GBV Plan of Action and also a special
programme officer. Give report back to Council and ensure that a gender

The facilitator was good, flexible, easily initiative, understandable, and energetic, explained thoroughly and communicates more and makes examples better. Keep
it up. It was very good and fruitful. To have more of these workshops.

Did not reach the relevant groups like senior management in the Municipalities
and Councillors. I‟ve learned a lot. The workshop was excellent. It was very meaningful and good to attend such a session.
Ensure that everybody takes part and get senior officials to attend.
It would be nice to have a follow up workshop. I would love a follow up and in depth discussion focusing on the protocol targets
Must follow up on Municipalities if they have implemented any part of programme.
Thanks to GL and SALGA for this opportunity to enrich ourselves with this very
informative knowledge about Gender and GBV issues. This onus is on us to put
in practice what we have received in theory. Working together we can do more.
