All forms of discrimination based on sex and gender should be eliminated. The reasons for revising the National Gender Policy of 2000 are the need to address persistence and emerging gender related issues such as the impact among women of climate change (Chap 4). The Policy aims at: providing for regional and international instruments on gender and development in order to ensure gender responsive policies and laws; increasing the participation of women in decision making at all levels of development in the public and private sectors; increasing access to quality education and skills development for all; increasing equitable access to affordable renewable energy, clean and safe water as well as sanitation services; reducing extreme poverty and destitution among vulnerable groups especially women and girls; reducing all forms of gender based violence (GBV); promoting equitable allocation of productive resources to women and men; creating opportunities, in the expanding tourism sector, which facilitate equal participation and benefits to women and men; promoting equitable access to and ownership of housing and related infrastructure between women and men (Chap 5).
