Ministry of Gender

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ministry of Gender was a ministry in Zambia. It was headed by the Minister of Gender.

The ministry was established in 2012 by combining the Gender in Development Division of the Cabinet Office with the Child Development department of the Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health.[1] However, in 2016 Child Development was transferred to the Ministry of Sport, Youth and Child Development and the ministry was renamed the Ministry of Gender.[2] After the 2021 general election, the ministry was transformed into the Gender Division (GD), a division of the Office of the President.[3][4]
