This synthesis paper examines some of the strategies undertaken by PROWID partners in relation to factors that contribute to good governance and women's empowerment and includes an analysis of the dynamics of power that affect women's participation. The paper highlights women's initiatives—across programs and regions—to foster an inclusive political culture, strengthen the capacities of civil society actors, and transform state institutions and policies. This document serves to expand the dialogue on the relationship between good governance, political engagement, and women's empowerment, and provides insight to program planners and policymakers concerned with incorporating gender into democracy-building efforts.
