This publication outlines an approach that intends to translate IGAD's commitments to gender equality, inclusion, and empowerment into demonstrable results. It also outlines an accountability structure for ensuring policy oversight and achievement of those results. The regional gender equality strategy aims to respond to the most pressing and emerging gender priorities in the IGAD region, provide a roadmap for IGAD both at the secretariat and specialized/technical offices level to advance gender equality in their programs and to create an enabling environment for promoting gender equality.
