Abstract

Together with the influence of globalisation and sustainable development goals, urbanisation profoundly impacts the service delivery capacity of African subnational governments. Unfortunately, in the context of Zimbabwean local authorities, particularly urban councils, these amplified demands were not accompanied by increased capacity. Unsurprisingly, service delivery woes have become the norm. The question that arises is: Are urban local authorities in Zimbabwe, without the involvement and active participation of other stakeholders, able to confront and overcome service delivery challenges, and spearhead local development? In this article, the researchers present the impediments to collaborative governance in Zimbabwe’s urban councils and insights towards an enabling environment for collaborative governance. The researchers gathered evidence to substantiate this line of argument through qualitative desktopresearch.

Abstract

The study examines the factors influencing the effective implementation of gender equality in the Newcastle Local Municipality (NLM). The study, being qualitative in nature, is based on a single case study considering the NLM as a locus. Information is gathered through literature review. The data is analysed through conceptual analysis. The findings obtained indicate a gender disparity at the NLM in terms of councillor and management positions. There are also social, economic, political, ideological, and institutional factors hampering the achievement of gender equality and, these are comprehensively addressed in the study. The study offers recommendations which can be applied in NLM and other municipalities to enhance gender equality. The importance of involving local government and municipalities in the fight against gender inequality cannot be underestimated. It is therefore necessary to address the existing research gap concerning gender equality in local government.
