Beyond a rapid review of international standards and best practices, the participants will address party and electoral quotas, public funding, incentives and sanctions as well as political campaign regulations aimed at increasing women’s representation in party structures and elected bodies. The event is co-organized by the International Foundation for Electoral System (IFES), the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and Oxygen Foundation with financial support from the USAID.
