AT A GLANCE
PARFAIT aims at increasing women participation at local level by giving them the means to fully access the public sphere – as voters and candidates, but also as empowered, informed and involved citizens in order to make the implementation of the decentralisation process a success for every citizen. The project specifically targets six Tunisian governorates: Gasfa, Kairouan, Grand Tunis, Jendouba, Kebili and Mahdia.
OBJECTIVES
- Increasing women’s participation in the local governance process in Tunisia.
- Contribute to the improvement of women’s participation to the decision-making processes in the targeted governorates;
- Promote the integration of the gender dimension by local authorities in all their actions;
- Promote a shared vision of the place of women in local and regional public life through the opening of spaces for dialogue and collective learning.
