Short Summary
|
What advocacy mechanisms and initiatives can be put in place to encourage men to take joint responsibility for their families? This project on 'Joint Parenting Advocacy in Senegal' was carried out by ENDA Tiers-Monde with the support of the Acacia Initiative of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). It aims to use information and communication technologies (ICT) to raise public awareness of benefits of joint parenting and to prepare the grounds for a legislative change. The project includes research, information and communications initiatives, as well as training and advocacy. It has been implemented jointly with various civil society and human rights organisations, public authorities and elected representatives, and in association with the media and with regional and international ICT networks. A series of radio broadcasting programmes in French, and in the local language - Wolof, were also produced and are available to download from the site. Recommendations from the programme emphasise the need to build the internal capacity of women's organisations in Senegal, to form alliances and facilitate networking to promote gender equality, and to carry out more research on the impact of ICTs on social change in Senegal. All outputs of the project can be accessed from the website, which is in French. Some documents are also available in English.
