Encouraging Women's Political Participation
NDI supports the inclusion of all marginalized populations in public life and encourages gender equality in all of its programming. In an effort to demonstrate women's capacity to participate fully in Morocco's political life, NDI worked with the Democratic Association of Moroccan Women (ADFM) and the Seattle-based Center for Women and Democracy to train more than 120 potential candidates in campaign techniques prior to the 2002 legislative elections. The program focused on how to run a competitive campaign and target women voters to ensure that women's concerns are reflected in national politics. Through those elections, the number of women holding seats in Parliament leapt from just two to 35, one-third of whom participated in NDI's training programs.
