Description: Since the 1990s, the opening up of democratic spaces has been characterised by growing transnational activities and regionalisation of non-state actors. In Southern Africa, intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) began to recognise civil society actors and to integrate and prioritise gender and women issues within their policymaking structures. 1 This was assisted by the formulation of norms at a global level which could be diffused to regional and national policies, leading to greater non-state activity in the SADC area. It was achieved through, firstly, the establishment of an eminent group of commissioners in the early 1990s to review the situation of women across the region. Secondly, following the 1995 Beijing International Women’s Conference, a task force was created to draft a Regional Plan of Action to begin to address gendered insecurities across Southern Africa. Finally, the first meeting of the SADC Ministers Responsible for Women and Gender Affairs was convened in 1997 (Made and Morna, 2009: 34).
