On the 14 October 2015, the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) will be making a presentation on its Annual Report (AR) for 2014/15 before the Portfolio Committee on Women in the Presidency. The purpose of this exercise is to share with members of the Portfolio Committee the organisation’s performance in terms of its strategic objectives and Annual Performance Plan (APP) as outlined in the financial year, 2014/15.

This exercise is part of the oversight responsibilities of the Portfolio Committee and provides the CGE with an opportunity to share with the committee the progress achieved in the financial year.

This Annual Report to be presented is the Commission’s unqualified report in a three year cycle achieved by 88%. It will also be an opportune moment to engage with Portfolio Committee members on numerous critical matters such as the strategic direction to be pursued in the future, a need for alignment of national policies such as the National Development Plan with the constitutional imperatives to promote gender equality and fundamentals such as the addressing the untenable level of gender based violence and other gender related matters.

The Commission is looking forward to and grateful for this opportunity to engage with the Portfolio Committee on Women in the Presidency.
