GENDER NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN THE DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE SECTOR

The Democratic Governance sector is one of the sectors identified by the Government of Malawi for the purposes of enhancing democratic governance reform in the country.

The strategic plan will also inform the establishment of the democratic governance sector wide approach.

As the Democratic Governance Sector is currently in the process of developing its Sector Strategy, there is need to conduct a gender needs assessment covering all the institutions within the Sector.
