The joint publication of UNDP and UN Women entitled ‘Inclusive Electoral processes: A Guide for Electoral Management Bodies on Promoting Gender Equality and Women’s Participation’ is a valuable contribution for electoral administrations and the international assistance providers who seek to adopt gender-sensitive practices in their work and internal processes
By drawing on the experiences from experts and practitioners on electoral assistance and women’s political participation from across regions, the Guide highlights the important work being carried out by the UN and by EMBs. It offers concrete examples of steps which can be taken to remove remaining barriers and showcases innovative and successful programming interventions. By committing to gender equality through a gender policy or by including gender elements in the EMB’s strategic plan, the Guide makes the case that EMSs can become models of gender-sensitive institutions and further contribute to the achievement of gender equality and empowerment of women in political and electoral processes.
The Guide is available in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Romanian. To access the various language versions, please click here
