Increasing women's representation and participation in decision-making bodies requires well-developed strategies and information about which measures have worked successfully in different countries with different political systems. This report examines, through comparing the use and under what conditions, quotas can be successfully implemented. It aims to raise awareness about the use of gender quotas as an instrument to increase women's political representation and to show that they can and are being applied successfully. This workshop report, the third in a series of reports on regional experiences with quota implementation, examines quotas used in 17 African countries.
