Background

The UN Women Training Centre (TC) is dedicated to supporting the UN and other stakeholders to realize commitments to gender equality, women’s empowerment and women’s rights through transformative training and learning.

The Political Participation Library (Biblioteca de participación política) is a compilation of 45 publications in Spanish on promoting gender equality policies at the local level.

Adapting the software of this library to Wordpress will allow to integrate it into the new Wordpress eLearning Campus of the UN Women TC and solve PHP programming errors.

- Implement the library in a development environment upon approval of the proposed methodology. Export and test it on the eLearning Campus website.
