A five-day Gender Action Learning Systems (GALS) workshop which is being attended by the Nature+ project partners in Mutare is expected to equip the project implementers to engage in an overdrive gender mainstreaming.

The workshop is being attended by participants from ADRA Mozambique, MICAIA, TSURO Trust, Canadian Foodgrains Bank, ADRA Kenya, World Renew Kenya and Government officials.

Gender Action Learning Systems is a trending approach in gender mainstreaming, which is inclusive and bridges intersectional barriers in communities for example illiteracy.

The approach enables communities to have a better understanding of mainstreaming gender in the development. It is a participatory and sustainable tool in which participants do not only recruit knowledge, but they create it.

The participants are expected to cascade the knowledge and information in their project implementation.

Through advocating gender inclusivity this will help to remove barriers and create gender equality and social inclusion and addresses the root causes of inequality and exclusion within communities.

GALS will help to increase access, decision making and participation of women in decision making and leadership positions. It will give communities a clear picture of what they hope to achieve in their communities and the journey to achieve that.
