Collaborative Centre for Gender and Development 

Over the last 28 years, CCGD's advocacy approach has consistently contributed to the fight against gender inequality and gender-based discrimination at national and regional levels.  CCGD gender equality advocacy work supports the development of new policies to address identified gender gaps, review existing policies to keep up with trends brought about by emerging challenges and acceleration the implementation of gender policies.  CCGD carried out this mandate by piloting innovations and options that offer feasible service-based solutions to women and girls.  CCGD has made significant gains, but the implementation of policies has not been effective enough to consistently reduce and close identified gender gaps at the envisaged scale.
