LESSON

Lesson Learned: Increasing Women’s Participation in Politics and Decision Making in Angola

The training, public awareness activities and radio broadcasts were important to political party women’s organizations, CSOs, and journalists in Angola. These outputs significantly impacted on women as individuals. They gained a greater understanding of the importance of participating in political parties, and many of them registered to vote in time for the 2012 elections.

Project Description
Increasing Women’s Participation in Politics and Decision Making in Angola targeted the women’s organizations of Angola’s political parties and other platforms that work to promote the political empowerment of women. Participants found the issues addressed by the project interesting and appreciated the participatory methodology, which encouraged interaction among people who in many cases were from different political parties, enabling them to get to know one another. However, the decline of the grantee’s institutional capacity substantially lessened the project’s potential impact.
