This initiative contributes to improve the credibility, transparency and women participation in the municipal election what will take place in October 2018. Canada provides financial support to Associação PROGRESSO to promote empower young university students to work as electoral observers and train women journalist from community radio to better observe and provide timely reporting on the election process. Additionally the project will increase citizen participation by providing civic education and access to information. The project’s assumption is that access to good quality information and education on democracy and elections can improve peoples’ understanding of the political processes, including the importance of voting. It is also based in the assumption that when citizens, particularly women, are engaged in the public life of their counties, they boost transparency and political participation that are key to sustainable development.
