This project aims to strengthen coordination of peacebuilding, governance and elections processes and stakeholders with a focus on greater participation of women in these processes. It also seeks to achieve a more effective prevention and response to Violence Against Women in Elections and Politics (VAWiE/P) through building a peaceful and enabling environment for women’s increased participation. The upcoming 2023 General Elections are the next benchmark, and that makes this project time sensitive and catalytic in fostering joint efforts to address conflict-related issues to enhance women’s participation in these elections. Notwithstanding, the intervention adopts the electoral cycle approach in addressing the gaps identified in this proposal; the project will focus on strengthening coordination of peace building infrastructure to address VAWIE/P and enhancing women’s participation in politics and public life. The beneficiary institutions range from grassroots to national levels include peace huts, palava huts, political parties’ women and youth wings, National Elections Commission (NEC), the Women Legislative Caucus (WLC), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Ministry of Gender Children and Social protection (MoGCSP), the Inter Political Party Consultative Committee (IPCC) and other stakeholders. The intention is to influence social norms change, mainstreaming of all efforts into national coordination and robust gender responsive policies and legal frameworks, enhanced awareness on the rights of women to participate in politics and adherence to commitments on gender in the codes of conduct and legal provisions for women’s meaningful participation and representation. The proposal builds on existing programmes and partnerships, scaling up initiatives and building complementarity with like-minded initiatives with Peacebuilding Office (PBO), ZoA and other development partners.
