    1. GDC ANNUAL REPORT 2008/9

    2. GDC MANDATE The mandate of these three programs is to translate constitutional imperatives, policy pronouncements and legislation into measurable and meaningful programs. Furthermore, by virtue of their location within the Presidency, the overall mandate and core business of the three units is therefore to provide high quality, professional support to the President, Deputy President, and the Minister in the Presidency in the execution of their executive responsibilities on issues pertaining to women, gender equality, disability and children’s rights. VISION The overarching vision of all three units is the drive for excellence in governance processes to ensure a better life for women, people with disabilities and children in the South African society. The ultimate aim is to ensure the creation of a non-sexist, non-racist, non-discriminatory and fully inclusive society in which all the people of South Africa can enjoy their human rights, human dignity, and human freedoms.

    3. CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE PROGRAMMES All three units have essentially performed the same core functions and areas of work, which can be summarised as follows: Policy development and management; Mainstreaming of gender / children’s rights / disability considerations into all policies, programmes, practices and projects; Coordination and planning function with Focal points in government sector, constitutional and statutory bodies; Parliamentary and provincial legislative structures, local government level, private sector, business, labour and civil society in general; Advocacy which focuses on awareness raising, conscientization and campaigns on emerging issues;

    4. CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE PROGRAMMES Facilitate capacity building for mainstreaming processes; Monitor, evaluate and reporting on the progress made and challenges existing in the promotion and protection of human rights and human dignity; Research on specific issues pertaining to women, children, and people with disabilities; Compliance with the regional and international obligations and commitments; and Networking with other stakeholders both nationally and globally.

    5. WORK WITH PRESIDENCY, PCAS AND GOVERNMENT CLUSTERS The three offices together with the Office of the Chief Director have been participating annually in the Presidency and in PCAS strategic planning sessions. The three Programmes have also participated in some meetings of the Government Clusters, however, this has not been a consistent approach given the number of challenges experienced by the three Offices in terms of participation. All three units have also contributed annually to the Presidency Annual Reports.
