Objectives

The Action complements the EU GAP III 2021-2025, which places gender equality and the empowerment of girls and women at the heart of the EU’s external Actions. The Action’s contribution to this goal will be through enhancing inclusion of women, youth and marginalized groups to meaningfully participate in political and decision-making structures and processes. As a specific objective, Oxfam and WOLREC envisage that women, youth and the marginalized will be equipped with capabilities and a supportive policy and legislative environment for them to meaningfully participate in the political processes and decision-making structures. This is in line with the Malawi 2063 Enabler 2 which commits that “we shall also engage youth, women, persons with disabilities and other marginalised groups in decision making processes and allocation of resources”.

Results

The action seeks to increase participation of women, youth and marginalised groups in decision-making positions and political processes ahead of the 2025 general election.
