Aim |
| The
main aim of this project is to increase women's qualitative
participation and influence in policy and decision making
with a clear understanding and commitment from these women
to focus on women's issues while holding those positions.
This project also aims to empower women legislators in technical
capacity and resource allocation so as to minimise the hinderances
to women wanting to rise to positions of decision making.
