 1.0 Introduction

The Non-governmental Gender Organisations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC) is an umbrella network organisation that was founded in 1985 out of the realization that the empowerment of women in Zambia needed concerted efforts. Its formation, by a few women NGOs, was an outcome of the United Nations Conference on Women that was held in Nairobi, Kenya in 1985. Since then, NGOCC has grown to a current membership of 103 organisations spread in all the ten provinces of Zambia with a presence in 64 districts. NGOCC has continued its coordinating role and strengthening its member organisations to enhance their relevance and effectiveness in championing gender equity and equality.

In it’s over 36 years of existence, NGOCC has attained a strategic positioning as the focal point of the women’s movement in Zambia and is poised to utilize this comparative advantage to continue as the voice for women’s empowerment in addressing the gender agenda. NGOCC has, thus, become an influential voice in advocating for the implementation of gender sensitive and responsive national policies, legislation and all developmental processes. In line with its broad mandate, NGOCC’s vision is, “A society where women are empowered to fully participate in social, cultural, economic and political development.” The mission being “To promote women’s empowerment for gender equity and equality through coordinated advocacy, capacity development of member organisations and linkages with government, local and international partners.”

• Institutional Development and Sustainability

This Strategic Plan formed the basis of all organisational strategic interventions in the last five years in it’s quest to contribute to the global undertaking of the gender agenda which is anchored on the human rights approach. This Strategic Plan was informed by a number of gender instruments, national priorities and programs that contribute to the development discourse of the country. The Plan is modeled on the Theory of Change which is well anchored on NGOCC’s envisaged change of gender equality and women’s empowerment in Zambia by end of 2022.
