THE Gender Affairs Bureau (GAB) of the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security successfully concluded two impactful gender and development training sessions last week in Regions Three and Six.

The sessions specifically targeted members of Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs) and Regional Offices, equipping them with practical tools and knowledge to better address gender-related issues within their communities and organisations.

Participants engaged in insightful discussions on core gender concepts, including the significance of gender mainstreaming and strategies for implementing gender-responsive policies and programmes at the local level.

This initiative is part of the Bureau’s broader effort to strengthen both individual and institutional capacities to understand, manage, and respond effectively to gender issues across society.
The Gender Affairs Bureau reaffirmed its commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering stakeholders at every level to champion meaningful and inclusive change in Guyana.
