Central African women and girls of all ages fully participate, lead ans engage in political institutions and processes

During the reporting period, many achievements have been reached in term of women’s participation namely: i) the increase of women representatives in the Parliament from 11 (2015) to 18 women parliamentarian (2021) who seat in the national assembly, ii) the increase of women electoral commissioners from 22% to 36%, iii) the increase of women members of electoral commissions at the local level from 11% to 29%, iv) the improvement of the legal framework for elections by removing discriminatory provisions such as the obligation to hold a land title in order to be a candidate in legislative elections, and the introduction of a 35% quota for gender representation in candidate lists.. V) The office has also supported the implementation and operationalization of 1325 hotline that allowed the monitoring violence in the electoral process. These achievements are the results of a better coordination of gender-sensitive interventions through leading the Gender and Election Technical Group and a strengthening the advocacy of women's organizations in favor of inclusive and peaceful elections. UN Women has closely worked with ANE (National Authority for the Elections), UNDP, MINUSCA, ENABEL and women of civil society engaged on the peaceful process in the country. Many programmatic actions, funded by the Peace Building Fund, the government of Canada, Sweden, United Kingdom, and UNDP, allowed to support the last presidential and legislatives election : (i) The training and deployment of 850 community volunteers for the civic education campaign (ii) the organization of mass awareness and advocacy meetings with the main actors in the electoral process that reached 2.3 millions of people (iii)the training, coaching and legal assistance of potential women candidates for the elections (More than 1,200 women aspirants and stakeholders in the electoral process trained) , (iv) the training of the Defense and Internal Security Forces in the use and maintenance of Green Line 1325 equipment, (v) the establishment of a psycho-social support mechanism for the management of post-traumatic stress of female candidates in elections. 93 women candidates took part in training workshops and benefited from counselling and individualized listening sessions, vi) Setting up of the prevention and data collection mechanism on violence against women during the electoral period in CAR. For the first time in CAR, a national study on violence against women during elections was conducted and the study report is available and being published. These activities were carried out in a particularly difficult security context, exacerbated by logistical constraints and the isolation of the hinterland prefectures. Due to insufficient resources, the portfolio was not able to cover all the country's prefectures for the training of candidates and the civic education campaign. The monitoring of violence against women was done at the national level. Women continue to face structural discrimination supported by socio-cultural constraints that has impacted the number of women candidates. In the perspective of the next local election, the office will continue to support the political participation of women and girls.
