Development of a Regional Gender Strategy and Action Plan (GSAP)

éCowater was contracted to work with four African Regional Development Organisations (SADC, ECCAS, ECOWAS and IGAD) to develop Gender Strategies and Action Plans (GSAP) for disaster risk reduction, recognizing the importance of building resilience to natural hazards that is inclusive to all segments of society, given the different vulnerabilities of women and men.
