#SustainingTheGains #genderequality #UN #womenempowerment The Ministry today joined a high-level Spotlight/Sustaining the Gains Mission, led by the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN), and the Embassy of Switzerland, on a field tour to assess the impact and achievements of the EU-funded Zimbabwe Spotlight Initiative. The two-day mission seeks to evaluate the programme’s progress, highlight key successes, and strengthen ongoing efforts to sustain gains made in advancing the rights, protection, and empowerment of women and girls across Zimbabwe. The field visit kicked off with a tour of the #Zimbabwe Republic Police CID Forensics/DNA Lab, the Public Service Commission and the Epworth Safe Market, and Epworth Static #GBV One Stop Centre. On day two, the mission will extend its visit to Mashonaland Central and tour the #GBV Static One-Stop Centre and the Feminist Knowledge Hub at the Institute of Young Women in Development (IYWD) in Bindura. Objectives of the field mission include: • To provide an opportunity for the mission to learn of the Spotlight Initiative’s support and ongoing work under the successor programme, Sustaining the Gains, with stakeholders and partners in Government, and communities • To showcase the GBV-WEE nexus demonstrated through the Epworth Safe Market and One-Stop Centre model in Harare Province (Epworth) • To provide an opportunity for the mission to hold discussions with Implementing Partners on their work, changes that have occurred, and sustainability initiatives.

#empoweringwomen and #girls for Regional Trade! 🌍💼 The Ministry continues to strengthen strategic partnerships that unlock economic opportunities for women and young entrepreneurs. This afternoon, Permanent Secretary Dr. Mavis Sibanda met with the #UNDP Country Coordinator for Zimbabwe, Ms. Sharon Wekwete, to discuss the upcoming launch of the Enhancing Capacities of Women and Youth-led Enterprises for Regional Trade (ECoWYERT) Project. The five-year regional initiative will equip women and youth-led enterprises with the skills, financing opportunities, and support needed to participate in trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), creating jobs, expanding markets, and driving inclusive economic growth. Together with key partners, the project is set to transform the regional trade landscape by ensuring women and youth become active drivers of economic development and prosperity. The project will be co-implemented by UNDP, the International Trade Centre (ITC), the COMESA Federation of Women in Business (COMFWB), the Better Than Cash Alliance (BTCA) and the Trade and Development Fund (TDF) across other five countries which include Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia from 2025 to 2030. #WomenEmpowerment #YouthInBusiness #AfCFTA #MSMEs #Vision2030 #LeavingNoOneBehind
