MCWE Action Plan

Summary

The Male Champions for Women’s Empowerment (MCWE) Action Plan provides a structured framework for engaging male leaders in promoting gender equality within the transboundary water sector in Sub-Saharan Africa. It details the goals, objectives, and short- and long-term actions for Male Champions, including awareness campaigns, policy advocacy, institutional reforms, and networking initiatives. The MCWE, established by the Cooperation in International Waters in Africa (CIWA), works with male stakeholders to challenge gender norms, address barriers to women’s participation, and create opportunities for women in decision-making roles within water governance.
