Participants explored how legal reform, stronger political party accountability, digital safety and sustained financing can create an enabling environment for more women to seek, win and thrive in elected leadership.The discussion also highlighted the importance of building on existing progress through legislative reforms, strengthening institutions, investing in women led movements and scaling initiatives that promote inclusive leadership. Participants shared lessons from across the continent and identified opportunities to advance gender responsive governance before upcoming electoral processes.As a working session, the roundtable focused on action. The goal is to identify priority legislative reforms, strategic funding commitments and champions who will drive implementation and accountability, reinforcing the shared responsibility of governments, development partners, civil society and the private sector to accelerate women's political leadership.#nalafem2026 #womeninpoliticske ...
