Outcome 1: Legal and Policy frameworks promote gender balance throughout the electoral cycle

Outcome 2:A cadre of interested, diverse and capable women political leaders is formed at national and sub-national levels

Outcome 3: Significantly increased perception of women as equally legitimate and effective political leaders as men

Outcome 4: Women are promoted as leaders in gender sensitive political institutions
