Published purpose
The aim of the project is to help achieve greater equality between women and men as political leaders and agents of change in West and Central Africa. In support of this goal, the project seeks to increase women’s full and effective political participation by: (1) promoting legislative reforms that ensure women’s fair access to political life; (2) strengthening the skills of women to run successful electoral campaigns; and (3) training newly elected women leaders to be effective legislators and to champion issues of gender equality. The project is supporting more than 250,000 women political actors, as well as 500 women’s civil society organizations across the Central African Republic (CAR), Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria.
