dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study was to show the predictive power of educational level and age towards gender role attitude in governmental offices in Waghimra administrative zone. It also examined gender role attitude of women working in different Government offices as a fundamental strategy in insuring gender equity and equality in the zone. To conduct the study, women working at zonal offices were approached. Data were collected from employees working at zonal level. Questionnaire and focused group discussion were employed to obtain the data. In order to strengthen information gained through questionnaire. FGD was conducted with 30 women among the respondents of the questionnaire. Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques were used. The results indicate that neither the education system nor the gender empowerment activities help the women to make adequate progress in changing attitude towards gender role. Women, when they pass through age levels did not show any changes in gender role attitude according to the findings of the study. This may indicate that the social environment of the government offices and the work area is not able to provide the women with enough experience that bring about attitudinal change towards gender role. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the implementation of enhancing women involvement as well as gender role attitude development is entangled with inadequacy of specific relevant policies, gender responsive human resource planning and implementation, monitoring and evaluation systems.	en_US
