Partner Implementation and Coordination Committee Meeting  

The Enhancing Women's Political Participation in Africa programme, also known as Women in Political Participation (WPP) Africa project held the last Steering and Partner Implementation and Coordination Committee (PICC) meetings with the strategic support of International IDEA's Africa and West Asia (AWA) regional team. 

The two meetings, convened in Nairobi, Kenya, sought to discuss the milestones achieved during the first phase of the project (2019 – 2024) and how to inventively move forward in the quest to enhance women's political participation in Africa.

Our donor, the Embassy of Sweden in Addis Ababa, was represented at the meeting and they emphasized that change stories are key. Beneficiaries of the WPP academies from Kenya joined us to share their lived experiences at the academies. Watch the video below.

Regional convenings (WPP Africa Barometer)

Since the main launch in July 2024, the second edition of the WPP Africa Barometer, which is a signature publication of International IDEA in partnership with Gender Links continues to inform the discussions on the status of women's political participation in high-level regional dialogues. There was a micro-launch of the barometer during the Southern Africa Gender Protocol Alliance day on the sidelines of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Heads of State Summit in Zimbabwe. 

More recently, the barometer was the basis of discussion at the ECOWAS secretariat, the Pan Afrikan Leadership Sawubona, the SADC Gender Framework Validation high level meetings and at selected forums with representatives of Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs) in Africa.

For in-depth findings, read the English or the French version of the WPP Africa Barometer. Watch below the latest news on WPP Africa Barometer and how it is shaping political discourse at the recently held Pan Afrikan Sawubona event.

WPP Academy beneficiaries key winners in the recently concluded elections in Botswana 

In the recently concluded 30 October 2024 general election in Botswana, Hon. Pushie Manyeneng, one of the beneficiaries of the Women in Political Participation (WPP) Academy through Gender Links became the second woman to ever hold the post of Deputy Speaker since Botswana's independence in 1966. Read more here.

She is not only a deputy speaker but also the first-ever Member of Parliament of the newly formed Mmopane Metsimotlhabe constituency. In 2019, she vied as a councilor and lost the seat. However, in 2024, she had a tripartite win as first time MP, second female deputy speaker in Botswana's 13th Parliament and a member of Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) which made history by overturning Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), the then ruling party of since 1966. UDC won a parliamentary majority and informed the historic change in Botswana's politics this year.

Additionally, Felicity Keleeme, a WPP academy beneficiary through Gender Links and the only woman elected councillor for Palapye District Council in Mogapinyana ward in Tswapong North constituency won in the recently concluded elections. Half of the 14 council candidates who participated in the WPP programme won their seats.

High-Level Regional Dialogue with traditional and faith-based leaders from Africa

The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) through the Women in Political Participation Africa (WPP Africa) Project together with PADARE and Women and Law Southern Africa (WLSA), hosted a high-level dialogue. The convening brought together faith-based and traditional leaders, women political leaders (senators, members of parliament, councilors) drawn from various countries in Africa (Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria and Zambia) and an ECOWAS representative.

The dialogue delved into the nexus between women’s political participation and the influence of faith/traditional leaders in political participation within the continent. Traditional leaders are gatekeepers of the political gates in Africa, their endorsement or lack thereof, can cause one to win or lose at the ballot.

The meeting also paved way for reflections and solidarity on countries that had elections in the past 2 years through the lens of the pan African gendered law. It was established that the First-Past-The-Post system, where the winner takes all, requires more funding and tends to favor male candidates. As a result, this system disadvantages women. The traditional and faith-based leaders agreed to:

  1. Incorporate gender equity in their theological conferences.
  2. Inter-faith engagements that are pro-parity.
  3. Pursue gender-sensitive approach in the methodology of interpretation of biblical texts (hermeneutics).
  4. Claim their civic space to address contextual political issues of our time.

High-level ECOWAS meeting in Abuja, Nigeria

L'Institut Fondamental d'Afrique Noire (IFAN) - University of Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD) IFAN-UCAD in partnership with the Parity Caucus of women leaders, led by International IDEA and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commissioner for Human Development and Gender, Prof. Fatou Sow Sarr had an extraordinary parliamentary session with the ECOWAS secretariat on 9-10 December, 2024 to discuss the status of women's political participation in West Africa as per the findings of the second edition of the WPP Africa Barometer. 

The Parliament expressed interest in collaborating with the ECOWAS Commission and the WPP programme towards enhancing Women's Political Participation through a model law for all the 15 Member States of ECOWAS. News on this event is available here.

Hon. Prof. Fatou Sow Sarr speaks to 2STV media station after the ECOWAS parliamentary session. Watch the update.

WPP Academy in Dakar, Senegal

L’Institut fondamental d’Afrique noire (IFAN) convened a WPP academy training with the local authorities including mayors and presidents of departmental councils. This session allowed for discussion with diverse actors to seek solutions in terms of advocacy, public policy and awareness-raising, to improve the presence of women in decision-making bodies at the local or national level. Despite the gender parity law being in force, elected women in politics continue to face multi-faceted resistance that have a strong bearing on culture. It was proposed that the different inequalities be documented and explained so that the quest to find viable solutions is undertaken.  

The law dictates that all elective or semi-elective bodies set up parity offices. This has not been the case in many local authorities. In some cases, legal action has had to be taken to enforce the law. Despite the challenges, one of the beneficiaries of WPP Academy initiatives in Senegal rose from mayor to a ministerial role. Maïmouna Dieye was recently appointed as Minister of Family and Solidarity by H.E. President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye.

The Forum for the African Women Educationalists (FAWE) 

Training for young women political aspirants facilitated by the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) in Kenya

FAWE convened a high-level dialogue with women political leaders to enhance inter-generational mentorship for young women leaders through WPP Academy training. Since the inception of WPP Project, FAWE has hosted five Women in Political Participation Academies in Nairobi, targeting over 150 current female politicians, aspiring young women (18-35 years), student leaders, young women with disabilities and media practitioners from all 47 counties in Kenya. The WPP Academy stands as a catalyst for elevating women's involvement in politics. By providing participants with essential skills for upcoming elections and beyond, the academy aims to cultivate a  robust cohort of empowered women aspirants. The women are poised to spearhead the political and leadership agenda, not only in Kenya but also throughout the region. The anticipated impact extends far beyond the academy, paving the way for a more inclusive and dynamic political landscape. To bring a unique understanding to the academies, FAWE invites seasoned female politicians who act as role models and share their experiences. Watch the video below for updates.

Some of the 30 young women aspirants drawn form various counties in Kenya attend the FAWE training facilitated by the Office of the Registrar of political parties and the IEBC. Read more about the event here and in this article.

The African Women's Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) 

Training for young elected female Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) in Kenya 

The African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) convened a training for newly elected women from Kenya's Young Members of the County Assembly (KYMCA) caucus. The women were trained on presence, publicity and positioning. One key aspect was that visibility and strategic communication as a politician can ensure that stakeholders, including funding partners and constituents at the grassroots are able to appreciate the efforts politicians put in adressing pertinent issues and even and relate with their manifestos.

During this training, policy strategy, formulation and analysis were underscored as key to ensure sustainable and effective solutions.  Policy analyst, Joylisa Njagi, who was one of the trainers, emphasized that, "Inclusive policymaking can address diverse needs and create more robust, effective policies that stand the test of time especially on the equality and equity front to reduce gender bias and enhance gender equity.''

Women and Law Southern Africa (WLSA) 

High-level thematic dialogue on gendered elections in Africa 

Participants of the thematic dialogue on gendered elections in Africa. The theme for the dialogue was centered on fostering inclusive electoral processes to enhance women's political participation.

Women and Law Southern Africa (WLSA) held the high-level thematic dialogue with the Regional Economic Communities RECs, the Africa Union and women in politics to discuss gendered elections in Africa.

The meeting facilitated dialogue on gendered electoral model law and sought to influence Member States to adopt gender equality principles which enhance women's political participation. The Pan-African Gendered Model Electoral Law is designed for all actors engaged in handling of women’s political participation at all stages of the electoral cycle in Africa, with a specific focus on Members of Parliament, executive, judiciary, political parties, CSOs and election observers.

Despite the existence of international and regional frameworks that emphasize gender equality in political participation, how to achieve gender parity and eliminate barriers to women's political engagement, women's political representation in Africa remains below global averages, with significant gaps between policy and practice. The 26 per cent of seats in national assemblies and a mere 15 per cent of presidential roles, highlight entrenched structural barriers to accessing leadership positions. The ECOWAS Protocol and Gender and Election Strategic Framework in West Africa underscore the need for increased representation, but challenges like insufficient state funding for women candidates persist. Stronger enforcement of gender-sensitive policies is essential to ensure women’s full participation in political processes across the continent. Read more about the event here.  

Honourable (MP) Gertrude Mutandi, Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Women's Affairs, urged coordinated efforts by governments, civil society, and international partners to address the barriers faced by women in politics in Africa and reaffirmed Zimbabwe's commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Capacity building session for first-time legislators in Zimbabwe

Capacity building session by WLSA for first-time elected women Members of Parliament from Zimbabwe on 29 to 30 November highlighted. The workshop was noted as the 2025 budget due to be passed in Parliament and it is important that the legislators are able to review it through a gender-sensitive lens.
