The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicked off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. It was started by activists at the inaugural Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991 and continues to be coordinated each year by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership. It is used as an organizing strategy by individuals and organizations around the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. In support of this civil society initiative, the United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign (UNiTE campaign) calls for global actions to increase awareness, galvanize advocacy efforts, and share knowledge and innovations. The global theme for this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, which will run from 25 November to 10 December 2021, is “Orange the world: End violence against women now!” To read more, download the attachment below:

2021 is a very special year for the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations family. For starters, it marks the 59th Annual General Meeting. We get an opportunity to evaluate the journey that we have walked. No doubt, it has not been easy especially with the current Covid-19 pandemic grappling the whole nation and the world at large. Secondly, it is an elective year where our members will get an opportunity to participate in the elections of the leadership of the association both at the regional and national levels. Thirdly, we are taken aback by some of the principles and clauses approved in the recently gazetted Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO) Amendment Bill, which in our view may result in shrinking of civic space. It is our sincere hope and desire that we will engage different interested stakeholders to lobby and advocate for the creation of a Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) enabling environment especially through the PVO Amendment Bill which is set for public hearings anytime soon.

Governments and businesses joined farmers and local communities last week at COP26, securing new agreements to protect nature and accelerate the shift to sustainable smart agriculture and land use practices by making them more attractive, accessible and affordable. Twenty-six nations set out new commitments to change their agricultural policies to become more sustainable and less polluting, and to invest in the science needed for sustainable agriculture and protecting food supplies against climate change. All continents were represented, with countries including India, Colombia, Vietnam, Germany, Zimbabwe, and Australia. Examples of national commitments aligned with this agenda include: Brazil’s plan to scale its ABC+ low carbon farming programme to 72 million hectares, saving 1 billion tonnes of emissions by 2030 Germany’s plans to lower emissions from land use by 25 million tonnes by 2030 The UK’s aim to engage 75 percent of farmers in low carbon practices by 2030 To read more, download the attachment below:
