Lack of integration of policies and mechanism for the promotion of gender
equality.
Zero% representation of PWD at management level.
Lack of effective management of recruitment and selection policy.
Replacement of women by men on women vacated posts.
A need for capacity building of ward counsellors on gender issues.

LESSONS LEARNED
The lack of progress, requires a
serious re-thinking of current policies
in order to meet the gender balance
targets.
Women at lower levels are in majority
with 68% which witness the fact thatwomen are less earners in most of the
organizations.
Only 29% representation of women in
management positions which is a
matter of concern.
The importance of partnership and
integrated planning.
