e-Discussion on funding for women candidates

iKNOW Politics is convening an e-Discussion from 15 May to 19 June 2018 to seek input from political party leaders and members, politicians, experts, practitioners, and researchers on the challenges and opportunities of funding for women candidates and its role in promoting women’s political participation. The submissions will contribute to the elaboration of a "consolidated reply" that will augment the knowledge base available on campaign funding and its impact on women’s political participation.

Submissions are welcome in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish.

Guiding questions:

1. In your experience, what are the main challenges women encounter in raising funds for elections in your country?
2. Are there any examples of innovative ways of fundraising used by women candidates?
3. What are the good practices in political parties to support the nomination and fundraising for women candidates?
4. What measures can governments establish to financially support women candidates? And how can these be effectively enforced? 

Participate in the discussion.
