More women of all ages fully engage with political and economic institutions and in leadership
During the reporting period, progress was made to the outcome. “to enable more women of all ages engage and lead political and economic institutions”. Despite the politically tense situation in the CO, the diversity of the networks established in support of women’s political participation has played a key role in shaping the climate and momentum for acceptance of women’s political participation. In addition, the knowledge and technical support provided to women group, women in political parties and women provided by UN-Women directly contributed to facilitating women’s engagement and leadership in political and economic institutions. An example is the participation of women in the political process to restore the country’s path to the democratic transition and the support they received from the different networks to engender the political framework as well the negotiation skills they employed enabled them to successfully engender the political agreement.Disclaimer and notes
