What we do

 

Enhanced Women’s Political Representation and Decision-making

Sl Map

This project aims to enhance the capacities of women by developing their leadership, negotiation, networking, planning and other relevant skills in support of their participation in decision-making processes, and entry into governance institutions as well as to sensitize the key stakeholder groups including political parties, press, civil society and the general public, on the key issues related to women’s political empowerment.This will be achieved through the identification of pilot districts, design of training materials, recruitment of trainers and roll-out of training programmes for potential women leaders, development of communication strategies including training of media, community workshops, and production of documentary on women's role in politics.
