-----------------------

[1] SADC covers: Angola, Botswana, DRC, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

[2] In the 2010 Barometer GL made use of the Citizen Score Card to measure progress. This is an important tool for engagement and accountability, but it is subjective. Targets based on this carry the risk of results being skewed. The Southern Africa Gender Protocol Alliance is working on an index based on the data at Annex A which is updated annually. This index, ready in time for the next Barometer in August 2011, can be used to set targets and milestones nationally and regionally; GL therefore requests a bit of extra time to construct the SADC Gender Protocol Index (SGPI). It will be necessary to review the log frame at that time.

[3] Following the adoption of the SADC Gender Protocol by Heads of State in August 2008, gender activist groups that form part of the Alliance structures in Mozambique, a coastal country affected and threatened by climate change, have observed that the Protocol is silent on gender and climate change, and are motivating for an addendum. This will be an important test case with regard to the flexibility and responsiveness of governments to critical current concerns.

[4] GL will establish baselines for each individual media house that we work with as these vary. Some of these formed part of the GMPS and the data will be derived from this survey; in other cases, we will monTPr the media house at the start of the project to establish baseline data against which to measure change.
