NIMD and International IDEA are proud to present our new Roadmap towards inclusive democracies.

The Roadmap is based on our experience of helping political parties to support the active participation women in politics and the equal distribution of power and influence between women and men.

Political parties can play a key facilitating role. But, if the right structures are not in place, they can also hinder progress, putting up further barriers for women who want to participate in politics or reach leadership roles.

The Roadmap targets both parties themselves, and political party assistance organizations, and aims to provide a practical guide to addressing such barriers.

In six distinct steps, to be repeated and reinforced over time, we set out the path towards more inclusivity and gender equality.
