The Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development has engaged its stakeholders to source valuable input into its strategic plan for the period January 2019 to December 2020.
The plan, which is under the Transitional Stabilisation Programme, seeks to stabilise the macro economy and the financial sector and remove investment bottlenecks.
The ministry engaged partners from the public service commission, line ministers, development partners and representatives from the civil society to come up with input which will be included in the strategic plan.
Officiating at the stakeholder consultative meeting recently, Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Minister Sithembiso Nyoni said the stakeholder contributions would form the backbone of the strategic plan, which the ministry was committed to adhere to and be measured on.
She said the strategic plan will also set out clearly the roadmap to be traversed by specifying the stakeholders’ needs, the methodology to satisfy them, support schemes necessary and outcomes they desire.
“My ministry was assigned a destination to traverse by Government namely: promote and support women empowerment socially and economically, promote and support community development, coordinate mainstreaming of gender and promoting gender equality in all sectors,” said Minister Nyoni.
