The project aims to improve gender-responsive decision making in political institutions and processes. The project also seeks to strengthen the women’s movement in Iraq by empowering Women’s Advisory Boards (WABs) in five Iraqi governorates. It seeks to increase the capacity of women within these WABs in creating evidence-based initiatives responding to community-identified needs at the local, provincial, and national levels while facilitating linkages with key decision-makers and male allies to build trust and ensure the WABs can effectively influence decision-making. Women with more experience in advocacy will also form an advisory committee providing mentorship support to new WAB members. The project also aims to provide training to further strengthen participants’ leadership, coordination and consensus building skills. This approach builds on a successful first phase where National Democratic Institute (NDI) developed and established the WAB model in the 5 governorates liberated from Daesh.

This project aims to recognize, respond, redistribute, and reduce unpaid care work responsibilities on women and girls in Sri Lanka by helping improve government’s policies, systems, and practices on care work. It also seeks to increase awareness and address socio-cultural norms that enable unequal care duties for men and women. Project activities include: (1) developing 7 unpaid care work policies at sub-national levels and 3 sub-policies on unpaid care work; (2) conducting coalition-building among women’s rights organizations; and (3) raising awareness through campaigns targeting women, youth, boys, men’s groups, policymakers, the private sector, and trade unions.

This project aims to help realize the potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). It does so by creating safer and more equitable trading conditions for 300,000 small scale cross-border women traders, who are disproportionally affected by discrimination, harassment, and corrupt practices at border crossings. The project supports trade associations and ministries of trade in targeted countries on new border processes and procedures along the Beira trade corridor, which runs from the southern Democratic Republic of Congo to the port of Beira in Mozambique. Project activities include: (1) training on new border processes and coaching of women-led enterprises on business and financial management; (2) designing and implementing mechanisms to address sexual harassment at the borders; and (3) improving existing data collection systems, including developing and disseminating trade-related data disaggregated by sex, age, and ability.

This project aims to reduce the impact of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Cuba by working on 2 components: (a) identifying and addressing discriminatory barriers and practices which hinder an effective response, and (b) establishing comprehensive and integrated services at national and local levels.
