African Women Mediators and Election Observers: Building Peace, Securing Women

Abstract

This booklet on “African Women Mediators and Election Observers” is published by the OSE with the aim to facilitate access to a pool of African women with the knowledge, skills and readiness to engage in mediation and election observation in Africa, and to promote their enhanced participation in peace processes on the continent. This is the first edition of the endeavour, and it is far from capturing the dearth of women’s expertise on these critical areas of building peace.
