The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), in partnership with its Boundary Partners and with support from the European Union through the CODE Project, is pleased to announce a two-day National Conference on Women’s Political Participation and Representation in The Gambia. The event will be held at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Centre from December 15–16, 2025, under the theme: Breaking Barriers, Building Power: Advancing Women’s Political Participation and Representation in The Gambia.

The persistent underrepresentation of women in The Gambia’s political sphere undermines democratic inclusivity and sustainable development. Women’s perspectives are critical for addressing issues like education, healthcare, and gender-based violence, which disproportionately affect them. This two-day national conference will focus on women’s political participation, providing a timely platform to:

  • Assess progress and gaps since the 2016 democratic transition. 
  • Consolidate stakeholder efforts to address systemic barriers. 
  • Develop a unified strategy, including policy recommendations and capacity-building initiatives.
  • Inspire a new generation of women leaders to engage in politics.
