This thematic area seeks to achieve an empowered church that is an effective instrument of gender justice in Church and Society.
Expected outcome: An increase in women’s participation in decision making in church-based institutions and churches throughout the region.
The Key Strategic interventions under this thematic area will include:
- Create awareness on the women participation among church leaders’/ faith actors who will cascade the knowledge to the community – thus change attitudes & behaviors.
- Build the capacity of women in leadership so that they advocate for their gender representation at the Church, public, and political sphere.
- Develop FECCLAHA gender policy to complement the gender mainstreaming strategy within the organization.
- Institute country Gender Ambassadors/gender focal persons among FECCLAHA members – This will then build a critical mass of gender justice champions.
