The National Council of Women has launched its campaign strategy plan for National and Provincial elections in efforts to encourage and increase women representation in Parliament and in Provincial Assemblies.
Called the National Campaign Strategy Plan of Action, the Council says it is a political platform put together by its Women in Leadership desk.
Speaking at the launch yesterday, Women in Leadership Desk Officer, Casper Fa’asala says once implemented, the National Campaign Strategy will build the capacity of the National Council of Women and the Women’s Coalition to effectively advocate for equal participation of women and men in all levels of politics.
Mr Fa’asala also said the Strategic Plan will provide broader education, knowledge, abilities and confidence for women candidates to win 10 seats in Parliament and 35 seats in provincial assemblies, including in Honiara City Council.
