Engendering Political Participation in the OECS
This project is one component of the Caribbean Policy Development Centre’s programme on Democratic Governance and Popular Participation. The project seeks to increase the number of women in political office, whether in local or national government systems in Barbados and the OECS and thereby ensure that gender awareness and sensitivity is brought to the policy decision making processes of the sub-region.
