Women’s empowerment, participatory local governance and non-stereotyped approaches to wo/men’s roles are at the heart of the “Women in Local Democracy” project, which is currently being implemented by UNDP Armenia and funded by the European Union. The first few fast-paced months of the project have set a base for all three pillars through a series of rigorous capacity development and networking initiatives. Our work supporting women interested in running for local political office was tested in the autumn. Local elections were held in all ten marzes (regions) of Armenia on September 9 and 23.
