Thematic Areas
Interested contributors/participants including civil society, state actors,
donor partners and gender experts are invited to contribute papers that
address one or more aspects in the following thematic areas:
-
Historical, political and contextual analysis of gender, civic
engagement and good governance. Should chart, contest and situate
discourses, politics and/or policy frameworks, directions and trends.
May include analysis of options, alternatives, implications and shapings
globally and locally.
-
Institutionalized programmatic responses to gender equality commitments
and concerns in good governance through for citizen engagements. Should
address practical responses but also provide critical perspectives on
policies, programmes and projects intended to address gender equality
and women’s rights concerns in good governance. May include
responses deriving from civil society (e.g. NETRIGHT, GERA, LAWA ), state
(e.g. MOWAC, ENOWID, WIAD, Gender Budgeting, MDAs, Parliament.), donor
(e.g. GEST, PCC, DISCAP, MDBS) and specific programmes such as GPRS,
PRSPs, SAPs, SABA, MASLOC, LEAP, G-rap, RAVI but also regional and
global trends, actions and movements that have informed and shaped local
actions in the ways that they have shaped, limited or fostered civic
engagements on gender equality as part of the good governance agenda.
-
Mobilizing and networking on gender equality for good governance at
institutional, organizational and community levels. May include
partnerships among and between, donors, civil society, state agencies,
and global communities on policies, programmes and projects. May also
contest and analyze successes, effects, achievements.
-
Practical Experiences, workable strategies and novel actions and
alternatives by gender equality and women’s rights organizations. Should
include case studies, narratives and/or reports on specific actions such
as coalition building, networking, campaigns and movements etc. Specific
actions such as Women’s Manifesto or the Women’s Manifesto
Coalition, Sisters Keepers, Social Watch, Women’s Caucuses, Gender
Budgeting, Daily Monitoring of CEDAW would be illuminating.
While full papers are a requirement for participation, contributors are
encouraged to prepare power points to be used alongside their presentations.
Editorial support will be available for participants after the Forum as they
revise their papers into publishable manuscripts.
