Assessing Women’s Political Party Programs: Best Practices and Recommendations

Added: February 7th, 2018

Women

“NDI is currently conducting women’s political participation programs in a number of countries across the globe. One of the major challenges in all women’s participation programs is raising the awareness of male party leaders about the need to increase women’s political participation and leadership as both the right and the politically advantageous thing to do. Continuing challenges include women’s lack of influence in party policy and platform development, absence or limited representation on executive bodies in parties, lack of leadership positions, and marginalization of women’s wings within parties.

The assessment is designed to identify the specific elements and approaches which were most effective in encouraging women’s participation and leadership in political parties. Although drawn from NDI programs, the information gathered in this assessment is intended to be used by both individuals and organizations as a road map to help facilitate women’s political leadership worldwide.”
