Partners, communities, and stakeholders will then identify opportunities and implement recommendations to address barriers and inform a community engagement strategy to increase womens democratic participation. The organization will also engage with key political organizations and community forums throughout the region in order to increase public engagement to support the recommendations and take action to increase womens political participation. |
