The United Nations Development Fund for Women or UNIFEM recently held three successful BRIDGE workshops in the Sanma Province from 15 February to 5 March 2010. These workshops marked the first of a series of workshops planned for all the five provinces of Vanuatu in 2010 and beyond by UNIFEM Gender Equality in Political Governance (GEPG) Programme.
The weeklong workshops on Gender and Elections were conducted in three different areas, Kisule Village in Tasmalum in South Santo, Luganville and Avunatari in Malo. The workshops were attended by chiefs, pastors and elders, women and political leaders and youths. 58% of the participants in Malo were women, Luganville had 54% and in Kisule - Tasmalum 38% out of the total 44 participants were women.
The goal of DG BRIDGE is to promote and support democracy and good governance through multi-stakeholder learning, dialogue and networking.
