The capacities of 120 members (men) of political parties were strengthened through an information and sensitization activity targeting political parties on positive masculinity as well as the roles and duties of men to participate in the promotion and protection of women's rights. These sessions allowed men to understand that they must contribute to the active participation of women in the management of their community and that this complementarity will undoubtedly ensure a harmonious and sustainable development. The capacities of 120 other members of political parties were strengthened on the different applications of law N°052 to the different elections (proportional voting, majority voting with two rounds and the different scenarios according to the size of the electoral districts etc.).These sessions allowed for an increase in the number of resource persons with a clear knowledge of the different applications of Law N° 052 and who will serve as a lever to continue the process of information and sensitization on the topic. 1149 women and young people (322 men and 827 women) from the six communes of Bamako (749 including 211 men and 578 women), the cities of Segou (80 men and 120 women) and Mopti (31 men and 169 women) were informed and sensitized on the process of ordinary revision of the electoral lists, which has been underway since October 1 and will end on December 31 of each year.
