Our Work

Knowledge Management and Production

ZWRCN manages the flow of gender and development information generated within and outside the organization though processing, repackaging, and publishing it. The organization’s social networks on Facebook, Twitter and website blog aim to maintain dialogue on pertinent gender and development work and the organization’s activities.

Gender and Information Program

The GIP is the arm of the organization that manages information dissemination and communications. It is premised on the fact that information is central to women’s empowerment and to the nation’s development and promotes women’s access to and control of information including communication technologies (ICTs). The programme has two components: Knowledge Management and Production (KMP and the Feminist Knowledge Hub).

Gender Economic Policies and Public Finance

The GEPPF programme is premised on the need to mainstream gender into local and national governance policies, programmes, and budgets to achieve good economic governance. The overall programme goal is ‘Women economically empowered through capacity building of government to mainstream gender in social and economic sector ministry policy, programmes and budgets in line with the National Gender Policy, to contribute to poverty reduction” The programme also aims to contribute towards Gender Responsive Public Services (GRPS) in Zimbabwe, Gender responsive public services (GRPS) and Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) in local authorities and key line ministries, and budget monitoring to ensure support to SMEs. It also contributes to other aspects such as safer cities and towns to reduce Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) in public spaces through delivery of essential services to women and girls i.e. SRHR, water, street lighting, safe market spaces and safe transport systems.
